christmas in september plus a GIVEAWAY!

i can't believe how quickly this year has gone by. its only September but the holiday scrap supplies are already on display in craft and scrapbooking stores. christmas is easily my favorite holiday and in the spirit of the coming season i thought i'd make a couple of christmas cards.

with this first card i really wanted to create a "scene" card. i love the little polar bears, i think it came out pretty cute.


supplies used: recollections stickers (polar bears & santa hats), HA clear stamps Jolly Christmas Clear Design stamps, recollections rhinestones, DCWV stickers (christmas boxes). colorbox chalk ink blue, red, and colorbox fluid ink white.

the second card i made was using american crafts christmas rub ons. i was so inspired by the festive ornaments.



now for my very first GIVEAWAY!!!!
to win help me celebrate christmas in september! make your own christmas card and post a comment with a link to your blog or flickr page.
a winner will be selected on friday 9/25/09.

cute rejects

sometimes making a card for a friend is the hardest thing for me to do. i made four cards and ended up selecting the cute green and white one with the turtle on it from my last post. so i thought i'd share the reject cards.
my friend is having twins so i'm going to have to find someone else having twins if i want to use these :)

by the way this month's a year in cards class at two peas is all about baby cards. my fave is the one with the little owl and mushrooms :)
