Christmas Card Using Art by Miran Ornament Lumi and CTMH die cuts/stamp combo

Hello friends.  What's going on in your area?  Can you believe it is near the end of November already?  Christmas is right around the corner.  I am pushing to get more cards made; as I had a late start this year.

It is time for another fabulous Art by Miran Anything Goes Facebook Challenge. There is always an option; so you can choose to use blue,white and silver colors or red, green and gold colors.  I decided to go with the blue,white and silver colors.  That is my favorite combo for Christmas cards.  I decided to use this precious image - Art by Miran Ornament Lumi.  Isn't she adorable?

Birthday Card for Male Using CTMH Nature's Wish Stamp Set

Hello friends!  What have you done for fun this past summer?  We were able to take a two week vacation in Sept; which was pretty nice.   The summer flew by very quickly.  I don't think I even made it to the beach this year.  That is really a shame; because I love the beach; especially taking walks barefoot in the sand.  

I created this card for my son, Jeffrey for his birthday in September.  I loved this CTMH "Nature's Wish" stamp set as soon as I saw it.  You can find it in our CTMH Annual Inspirations Idea book; which came out September 1st and expires August 31st, 2017.

Hello friends.  Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.  I hope you have time to browse and enjoy my creations.  I love creating and giving my creations to the people I care about.  It means the world to me to be able to share my love with all of you in Blogland.  

You are all such a blessing to me with your comments, friendships and fabulous creations.  I love this creating community.  I don't think I would have survived all my health issues; if it wasn't for all of you.  It is a struggle sometimes to create when I feel so bad; but I feel blessed everyday for having my crafting and all of you to help me make it through each day.  Thank you.

It is time for another Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration Post and our topic this week is "Use Red or Green or both.  I am using a shade of green; which is my very favorite for creating Christmas cards.  I received this gorgeous snowflake paper free with my Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine; and had to use it for this awesome cat.  Be sure to visit the CCK blog daily; so you can see all the fabulous creations by the DT.
