Christmas Card Using CTMH Christmas Cardinal and other products

Hello Friends! I hope everyone is doing well and staying warm.  There is a horrible cold front across most of the US right now and it is breaking all kinds of records.  Please take care of yourself and stay safe. Say a prayer for all of the people without power; who are trying to stay warm.  

I love creating cards and giving them to family and friends.  When my mother was alive, I created her a lot of cards and she loved them.  I sure do miss her every day.  I sent this to a friend for Christmas 2020.  I really love this cardinal.

Christmas Card Using CTMH Sparkle and Shine Paper and Cricut AP Cartridge

DS4J Monthly Christmas Challenge - FREE Digi each month when you use the previous image.  

Hello Bloggers.  I hope everyone is doing well and having a wonderful summer.  My brother in law, Darrell, finished all his chemo and stem cell transplant; and hopefully on the road to recovery.  His Cat Scan came back clear of cancer yesterday!  We are so excited.  He has a long way to go; in order to build his strength back up and still needs everyone's prayers.  We are hoping they will get to go home in a day or two.  His white count has started climbing back up; but still some other issues with not being able to keep down his food.  My sister Becky has managed to work on her regular job; via the computer; but it has been tough for her living at the hospital with him.  They had to go to Indianapolis to get the treatments; and they live in MO.  They said to Thank everyone for your prayers.  I thank you as well.  Darrell is a precious person in so many people's lives and we want him to heal and feel better.  He is a blessing to all of us who know him.

I am back again with another Christmas card using a fabulous DS4J image that I received FREE with their monthly Christmas Challenge.  This is so much fun; and I am getting my Christmas cards created early this year by participating every month.  Join in the fun and check it out!  Email Desire; as stated on the instructions.  I had so much fun creating this card!  It is one of my favorites.  June is DS4J "Santa's Letter".  

I am entering this card in Path of Positivity Challenge - Happiness.  Christmas is a time of celebration; not only for Christ's birth; but for an opportunity to celebrate it by giving to others. Giving gifts puts a smile on everyone's face; but especially on the children's faces when they open their gifts.  It is also a time to give to others who are less fortunate than we are; so give to those in need; not just at Christmas; but all year long.  It doesn't have to be money.  It can be a gift of your time, your love, helping someone fix something; or just listening to someone you love talk about their problems.  A random act of kindness makes everyone happy; including the person who is doing it.

Christmas Card Using DS4J Dragon and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hello friends.   I hope this finds all of you well.  I know most of you are looking forward to Spring.  It is supposed to rain for several days and break all records from the past.  I hope it does rain; as CA really needs the rain.

I finished my Christmas card for Digi Stamps 4 Joy 2014 Christmas Challenge.   Each month if you create a card using the free Digi; you get the next month's Digi free.  It is a fabulous way to stay ahead and have your Christmas cards created before you need them.  This was my second one for the year; and I am very excited to be disciplined to get them done - one at a time during the year; rather than frantically creating them at the last minute.  Check it out.  This month was this adorable little Dragon.  

I used the sketch from Jo's Scrap Shack; which I think turned out very well.  I changed it a little bit; using two different papers; rather than just one; moved my sentiment to the bottom and used a border rather than ribbon.  I hope you enjoy this little Dragon.  I love this Digi; and can't wait to give it away to someone at Christmas.  LOL!  Until then; I get to enjoy it myself.
