Christmas Card Using Ching-Chou Kuik SnowFlake Imprint and CTMH City Sidewalks Paper

Hello friends.  Can you believe it is almost Christmas in less than 2 months?  I am not ready for Christmas, are you?  It is amazing to me how much faster time flies as you age.  I wonder why it feels this way as we age.  

It is time for another fabulous Ching-Chou Kuik November Christmas Challenge.  This should help all of you get some of your Christmas cards created. We hope you find the time to create and enter this challenge.  We would love to see your gorgeous creations.  I am using this awesome Ching-Chou Kuik Snowflake Imprint.  Isn't she pretty?!

Celebration Card Using Art by Miran Winter Alyssa for November Progressive Challenge

Hello friends!  Time is flying by and it will be Thanksgiving and then Christmas before you know it.  We had cooler weather here for a couple days; which was really nice.  I love the fall; with cooler temperatures.  I just don't like the really cold weather.  

It is time for another Art by Miran November Progressive Facebook Challenge. Mi Ran has created another gorgeous image, named Winter Alyssa.  I love this sweet image.  If you haven't participated in Art by Miran Progressive Challenge previously; you may purchase this sweet image for a reduced price, create something with her, enter in our ABM Facebook Progressive challenge and then you receive the next month's image free.  We look forward to your creations.

Winter Alyssa - Isn't she lovely!?
