The Night before Christmas

Hi Everyone,

here is my weekly Christmas card - playing with Merry Monday - the theme is the night before Christmas. I am going with those lines:

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, 
With a little old driver, so lively and quick, 
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.  


It kind off resulted in a modern version with those Paper Smooches skyscrapers. The Santa sleigh is from an old Inkadinkadoo set. Added some Washi tape and white paint snow splatters

Another card I love, been a lookin for one of those santa and sleighs, looks perfect with your city scape and skyline. Love that finishing touch with the washi tape and splatters.
Ein toller Hintergrund, vor dem die Silhouetten sehr gut wirken! Auch gefällt es mir, wie du die Washi Tapes hier eingesetzt hast.
Kurz war ich erschrocken und musste schnell einen Blick auf den Kalender werfen. Puh, es ist noch etwas Zeit für die Weihnachtskartenproduktion. ;))
Liebe Grüße

Wie... du bist schon wieder bei Weihnachten??? Hab ich was verpasst???
Deine Abendhimmelkarte gefällt mir sehr gut.
Ich denke, wenn man ganz genau in den Himmel schaut, kann man jetzt schon den Weihnachtsmann mit seinem Schlitten über den Sternenhimmel sausen sehen, allerdings nicht in schwarz wie bei dir, sondern in sternenweiß.
Dir und deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende

This is great, Cornelia. Definitely different than mine but more like what I think Clement Moore had in mind when he wrote the poem.

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
