Thankfully, not too much like Christmas! I would gladly keep our streets snow free for as long as possible. However, I do really need to crack down on my Christmas cards....just about a month left to make them! That's why I was very excited for this week's Digi Doodle Shop challenge. This week we want to see.....red and green!
I used the fabulous Christmas Ornaments, which can be found here. Aren't they pretty? You can do so much with them....make them all one or two colors for an elegant look, make them all sorts of different colors for a fun and funky look... the possibilities are endless! Some of my favorite Christmas memories are of decorating the tree with the family... Christmas music on the stereo (usually the Muppet Christmas....mom loves that album). I colored mine with Spica glitter markers. I Just LOVE the sparkle. The green paper and holly paper are from DCWV. The gold paper is from We're Stampin' Mad...just had to add some gold for a little extra oomph! =D The ribbon and bells embellishment are from my stash. The sentiment is from Inkadinkadoo, and was stamped with Distress Ink in Pine Needles.
So, you think you can play along with our color challenge? Hop on over to the Digi Doodle Shop's Best challenge blog to check out the amazing creations by the rest of the team.
Remember, you don't have to use a Digi Doodle Shop stamp, but if you do it will be entered twice. Also, you can enter as many times as you want...as long as it's with a new card/project each time. Plus, all animal stamps are 25% off for the month of November! PLUS, if you spend $7, you'll get one of these fabulous images:
and a chance to support Pet Pardons!
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Wags 'n Whiskers: Christmas Themed

Hi Starla! Love the card! I'm finally getting back into the swing of things! After I decorate my house Friday, I'm getting down in my scrap room and cranking out lots of Christmas cards and projects to give as presents. Happy Thanksgiving!
