Christmas Card Using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge For Tammy's Scrapin Corner

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.

Christmas Card Using CTMH Pear & Partridge Paper and Cricut Artiste Cartridge

Hi to all my friends in the blogging world.   Winter has arrived in Southern California with a bang.  We have had several days of rain and a lot cooler temperatures; which has been nice.  I love the cooler temperatures; but I know others are probably having snow and colder temperatures than we are.

My father-in-law passed away November 19th and we have been very busy with planning of the funeral and other events surrounding his sudden death.  He was 91 yrs old,  a beloved husband and father.  We are going to miss him very much.  My husband made at least two trips a day to the nursing home for the past 8 yrs to visit his mother (passed in 2008) and then his father (passed 2012).  He is going to be lost without those daily visits.  I think he is going to continue visiting some of the patients he has gotten to know these past few years; especially the Chinese patients who don't speak English.  His parents didn't speak English and it was difficult for them to communicate with the staff at the nursing home.

  

It's time for another challenge at Tammy's Scrapin Corner - Challenge 39 - Anything Christmas.  Our sponsors are Digi Darla's Designs and A Day For Daisies.  I hope you will take the time to visit Tammy's Scrapin Corner to check out all the awesome creations by the design team.  Our Guest Designer this week is Adrienne Crist.  Check out her blog for more wonderful creations!!

 

I used Digi Darla's "Cat Christmas" for my creation.  I added the words "Merry Christmas" and the two presents under the tree with a stamp set from CTMH Pear & Partridge Cardmaking Kit.

I appreciate you taking the time to visit my blog.  I hope you enjoyed yourself today and are inspired to create something for yourself or someone you love.  It is such a wonderful feeling to share your creations with others; especially people you love. 

Thank you for all your wonderful compliments.  I may not send a reply to them as I have done in the past.  I don't seem to have the time to answer all of them; but know that I am very appreciative of your comments and cherish each and everyone of them.  I am not sure anyone ever saw my replies; because I don't know if they go to the blogger email or regular email. I rarely, if ever, see my blogger email; but I do check my regular email.

I may start answering them again in the future; but it has been hectic for the past two weeks due to my father-in-law passing away; and many family members at our home. 

 

Have a fabulous day!!
