Hi to all my fellow crafters! Hope everyone is doing well. I am getting my Christmas cards done one at a time this year. I really need to take time to create the Christmas cards from my CTMH Frosted Cardmaking Kit; but just haven't had time or felt up to it. I don't know about you; but I feel Christmas is coming quicker this year. LOL! It just doesn't seem possible that it is December already. What happened to my summer?
I am so excited because I finally had time to create a card with Lacy Sunshine Digi - Eleanor Holiday Shopper. This is a really great site for challenges. If you purchase one of their Digi stamps; use it for a challenge; then they give you the next one free that they are featuring for the next two week challenge. They offer each digi for a special discount when they are using them for that weeks challenge. You can use any brand digi you want to use. It doesn't have to be one from Lacy Sunshine. I love their digital stamps. I love combining Digital stamps with my CTMH clear Acrylix stamps. It gives me so many options having both.

I am in love with the CTMH Sparkle and Shine Christmas Paper; so I have been using it quite a lot for my Christmas cards this year. There are so many great patterns and colors that you can mix and match. I had to use it again because the colors I wanted to use on my Lacy Sunshine Digi went very well with this paper. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it.
I also used the Mojo Monday sketch to create this card. It has all the same aspects of the sketch; but my pieces are a little bigger and not quite as good a proportion as I would have liked. Be sure to check out the inside of the card as well. I try to always finish the inside; to give you ideas as well.
