Christmas Card challenges

Two card challenges. This first one is for the challenge at Jingle Belles - Have A Merry LITTLE Christmas. We were to use inchies on our card. I've learned something about inchies: when you have as large as fingers as me, inchies are hard to work with...but I did it. This is the second go round; I did not like the first one.



This card is for the challenge at CraftyHazelNut. We were to use a free item or recycled item. The stamp "Merry & Bright" came in the mail today (yes, today...how great is that) from JilliBean Soup. I'd won a contest in November and missed seeing the announcement! The other freebie is the round poinsettia embellishment above the words. I won that last year from another group I was in (I can't remember the name right now).


I could probably use both cards on both challenges. The frame on the top card is from the freebie prizes; and the circle on the bottom card is an inch!

Alrighty, I've got 3 cards done for next year. I'm loving these challenges!

Keep crafting and thanks for stopping by, Susan

  6. I completely LOVE your inchies! They remind me (a LOT) of the displays of Christmas jewelry you see in all the stores during the holidays - all the boxes open to display the colorful, shiny treasures inside... Merry and bright, for sure!
