Merry Christmas to All!

I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to all my followers.  I can not believe that I didn't even post anything in the month of November.  Yikes....

I'm all healed from my Gall Bladder surgery and I'm ready to get back to "normal".  Thanks for being patient with my absence.

Here are some Christmas greetings for the Heart 2 Heart Challenge to share our Holiday spirit!

These are a couple of Christmas cards we made at my clubs in November.  I just love the bright colors of the "Believe" paper pack.  This Santa is my favorite too, he is from the Believe WOTG kit.  I used the polka dot Alphabet on the pennants.

 This card is one of the cards I made this year to send out to friends and family.  It is 12" x 5 1/2" then scored at 4 1/4" and 8 1/2" to make the "Z fold" shape.  The picture that is in this photo is actually a couple of years old, so I had to have a new one printed before I could send the cards out this year.

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year!

Sentiment-ally Yours!

Hi Stamping friends-
This week at Heart 2 Heart they are asking for you to make a project that has a sentiment stamped on it, but do not use any other stamping on the card.  I thought, oh this will be easy but I found it hard to not want to stamp an additional image on the card. 

I pulled out the new Cricut and the CTMH cartridge to help me with this one.

My Sentiment is from D1492 Christmas Love. I cut off the star image that was connected to the words.  I used the CTMH AP Cricut cartridge to cut out the plaque that the sentiment is on and the three different sized trees.  The trees are in two layers, the bottom solid layer is using Sky Blue and the top cut-out layer is using Sweet Leaf Green.   The sparkles on the trees are made with Z1313 Stardust glitz glitter gel. I used the Believe paper pack for the background papers.  I added the wide Grosgrain ribbon in white and a cute little bow too.   I also added Z1263 Bitty Sparkles to dot the "i's" in the sentiment.

Be sure to check out what other have done with this challenge at their blog.  Have a great week!
