Christmas Cards Galore!

Oh, I had so much fun tonight. (But I am so going to regret it in the morning! LOL!)

I was blog surfing while The Closer was on (anyone watch it?! Great show! Kyra Segdwick is my hero!) I found quite a few challenges that I wanted to participate in, and I actually had energy and creativity to do it, rather than just SAY I wanted to do it! Go figure! (I think someone spiked my drink at school and gave me some caffeine!

Anyways, here goes -
Holly Sparkle
This was for the Cupcake Inspiration challenge. Had to try my hand at winning some Lawn Fawn stamps! :) You can't tell in the picture, but I went over the hand colored areas on the holly with a Sakura glitter pen. Just enough "sparkle" to be sweet! REALLY diggin' this layout, which came from the Crop Stop December sketches. (Told you I was blog surfing and found some challenges!)

Holiday Trees
I stamped the tree with the words on it to try on my first card, but that didn't work. Then, I tried stamping it and flipping it over so you couldn't see the words. That didn't work either. So, then I had these two trees and I couldn't let them go to waste! So a fiddled, stamped and cut out ANOTHER tree. I used a layout by Debbie Olson, but I don't do it nearly enough justice. I like this one too.
Tree Trio
Lastly, this card combined the Clean and Simple layout for the week with the Curtain Call Color Challenge, Act 59. Again, very simple, but a card I really, really like.

Thank you so much for looking! :) Hope the holiday spirit is making you joyful in and out!
