Hello all my fellow bloggers and followers. It has been gorgeous fall weather in Southern California these past few days. I hope everyone is doing well. I am still trying to catch up on my sleep and trying to get over headaches; but I am feeling a little better now than I have been.
It is time for Challenge # 40 Christmas - Shaped Cards at Tammy's Scrapin Corner. Be sure to check out the DT fabulous creations. This week our sponsors are Stitchy Bears and QKR Stampede. Create your Christmas card and enter for one of the prizes. You must be a follower to be eligible to win.
This is my first year to make Christmas cards; so I am having a great time. I really love scenery cards; but sometimes it can be a challenge knowing how to color them. I am still new to coloring images and using digi stamps; so it is all trial and error for me. I really loved this image from Stitchy Bears called "Christmas Gate". I love the country with open spaces and trees; so I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. I hope you enjoy my card.
