Christmas cards!

 I spent my weekend working on Christmas cards!  

The top card was made using a die by Cottage Cutz  called Winterland Village! and Stampin Up paper "Feels like Frost"  and an added sticker for the sentiment.

The second card I also used the "feels like Frost Designer paer, and a Die by Penny Black for the Sentiment and for the snowflakes a die from Spellbinders 2012 Snowflake Pendant!

My church dies were from Cottage Cutz, and my star die cuts are from SweetNSassy.

And my frame dies were from Memory Box...

I used another one of my birthday gifts...

I would almost be embarrassed to tell you (and show you) all the crafts things I received for my birthday.  (All I need now, is more time to use it all) I was a very fortunate lady.

 The above card was made with a die that I received for my birthday.  It's a Cottage Cutz die, and it made a quick card for me.    The die is called Winter Wonderland Scene.  I was thinking about using this die to make some of my Christmas cards.  I showed this card to one of my crafting buddies, and asked her if it would work for my Christmas cards and she said to me...If It's for Christmas, Why are there leaves on the trees?"  I didn't think about that.  On the east coast in the USA, she's right...but maybe it would work for my west coast family that I send cards to...smile.  Actually, I'm thinking about cutting the leaves off the tree after I die cut it, and add some white flower soft for snow...

I was so happy to see that I have a new follower, Carole from "The Things I Love Blog."  I love that blog name.  I also really like the pretty cards that she has on her blog.   Here is the link to her blog...

Speaking of birthdays...I found this quote today...and it gave me my laugh for today..

"She was so old, when they lit the candles on her birthday cake six people were overcome

by the heat."  ~  Fred Allen

(That could have fit me this year...but fortunately, they only put ONE candle on my cake.  LOL
