Christmas Card Using Cricut Artiste and Cricut Artbooking Cartridges

DS4J 2014 Monthly Christmas Challenge

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.
