Thank You So Much!

Hello I hope you had a lovely Christmas. I have a card I whipped up today for a few chllanges I will list below.
I used Dogwood and Butterfly and The Giving Tree from Gina K Designs. I colored the butterfly with copics before cutting it out. The background is sponged with memento cantaloupe and then I stamped one of the branches from Dogwood and Butterfly also in cantaloupe. As for the challenges I used this weeks sketch from MoJo Monday (MOJO221) and then SplitCoast Stampers Try a New Technique (TLC357) to make a thank you card. Thank you for stopping by.

Pocket Card

Hello I hope you are having a wonderful week and are getting all of your shopping, wrapping and baking done. As for me I have the shopping and wrapping done, and I hope to get a big jump on my baking this afternoon. Now you didn't come by here to hear about my Christmas progress. I have a pocket card I made to show you today.
I used Celebrate The Season from Gina K Designs and illustrated by Theresa Momber. I will be using this as a gift card holder. I was able to work in several challenges into this card. The first one being Case the DT member on StampTV, this time is it Giovana that we were to case, I choose this card. I keep pretty close to Giovana's original card, I changed the image, designer paper and I matted the insert. I am also entering this into the challenge listed below.
Can you believe that Christmas is in only three more days?  Thank you for stopping by.
