I finished all my Christmas cards finally! I am reminded of the value of making Christmas cards throughout the year as opposed to waiting to do most of them in December. I know I would still want to save some for December but making "onsies and twosies" is more fun than twelvesies!! ya know?
I decided to join the Time Out challenge - "Merry & Cheerful" with two of my cards that surely have a Merry & Cheerful theme! I love challenges even though I have not joined very many this year! I don't know if it is a "resolution" but I sure am going to try to joining more challenges in the coming year. : ) There is still time - I hope to see you in the Time Out gallery this week.
I wish you could see the coating of Wink of Stella covering the little snow penguin! the fact that it doesn't photograph well is the ONLY bad think about WOS. : ) The blue clouds don't show up either but if you strain you can picture them there. : )
Here is an old favorite snowman stamp by Peachy Keen Stamps and a couple new favorite products from Penny Black. Sadly when I searched for the link to this stamp set I couldn't find it in the Peachy Keen shop but here is a link to their shop anyway just in case you want to contact them to see if they could get it for you.
Thanks a bunch for stopping by. I hope you feel more Merry & Cheerful than you did before you arrived! Have a wonderful day.
BIG (((hugs)))

Oh Patti these cards are gorgeous, especially the second one - that gave me an 'out loud' giggle

We have missed you being around and hope you join us more next year! Oh I had a laugh at your second card! Love the idea he has drunk too much and fallen down for a nap! So fun and so beautifully CAS with that pretty frame. Thanks for joining Time Out
Adorable cards, Patti! I hear you on resolving to working on Christmas cards prior to December! I can imagine how sparkly those sweet penguins are. The red ink you use is one of the most perfect shades of red I think I've seen. That sloshed or tired (or both} snowman is so funny. Love how you colored both these cards and the detail in the edges of the focal frames. Wonderful work! Happy hugs!
Ha Ha! Your two cards are so fun, Patti! I love the tipsy snowman! Wink of Stella is the best helper except for photography times. Still decluttering, haven't begun boxing yet! ;-O
Wow... I love the white, clean design on these impactful festive cards! Your snowy hills are lovely and I like the fun snowman image on the second! Thanks for playing at Time Out Challenges!
