Love and Joy come to You

 Hi Everyone,

I took a month off making Christmas cards, but now I am back - I am so glad I made all those cards throughout the year. Last year was the first year ever where I had enough cards and did not need to struggle to make them at the last minute! 

I am playing along with 52CCT - it's a sketch this time.  I used a background paper from Funky Fossil Designs and added stars with a Memory Box stencil. I also die cut some stars (Lil Inkers) using shimmer silver paper. I thought it to be somewhat bland, so I used some spray at the top of the card for more color. After it dried I assembled everything. The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions - it's heat embossed.
I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.

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.

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.
