Christmas Card Using Conie Fong "Ellie's Holiday Helper" and CTMH Sparkle & Shine paper

Hello friends!  I hope everyone is doing well.  It is really hot in Southern CA; and I have heard it is hot in most areas of the US right now.   I am trying to stay cool by staying indoors and trying to find time to craft.  LOL!

Kit and Clowder Facebook Group is having a fabulous 20 day celebration; and you can get this adorable new release digi FREE called Conie Fong "Ellie's Holiday Helper".  It is a private group; so you need to Join first if you are not a member.  Kit and Clowder is Celebrating their 20,000 members with 20 days of wonderful prizes and discounts.  Today is Day 16; but you can still go back and register for the previous prizes and pick up the free digis and discount coupons for all the previous days.  So hurry over by clicking the link above.  The celebration ends July 20, 2018.

If the celebration is closed by the time you see this - just click here for Conie Fong "Ellie's Holiday Helper" to purchase this adorable digital stamp.  I love this sweet, adorable image that Conie Fong has created.  Here is my 2nd Christmas card of the year.  

I am entering this card in "As You Like It Challenge".  The topic is Favorite Celebration and why.  I have always loved Christmas.  I love riding around to see the Christmas lights and decorations, the smell of a fresh Noble Fir Christmas tree, spending time with family and so much more.  You can feel the excitement in the air at Christmas, more than any other time of year.

  11. Love your fun card. So glad you joined our Challenge at Word Art Wednesday. I hope you'll join us again soon. I want to leave you with the inspiration of God's Word in 2 Peter 3:9 which says, "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." Have a blessed week.
