Hello friends. I hope everyone is doing well. It has
cooled down a little; but still hot here in Southern CA. I have been
working to get a few cards created. It seems to take me so long to create
one. I wish I had the skills to create several in one day; as I see other
people doing. It usually takes me several hours - up to a week to create
one card.
I created this card for the Digi Stamps 4 Joy 2014 Monthly
Christmas challenge. When you use their free Digi one month;
you receive the next month free as well. This is my 10th card; using their
free digis. I love all of Margy's creations; and it is a lot of fun using them.
There are two fabulous Digi sentiments for October; so be sure
to check it out. It is never too early or too late, to start creating
your Christmas cards.
This month is a Sentiment Set. I have chosen one of them to
use on my card. I thought about using the second one inside; but decided
to save it for another Christmas card. I chose to create an Easel card.
They seem to be my favorite card right now. I like that you can see
the inside and the outside at the same time.
I used a new CTMH stamp set that I just bought. It is CTMH
Frosty Fun - D1611. I love the house with the trees and the snow. I hope
you enjoy my card.
