Holiday Time!

I got up this morning feeling really,well, yucky. Started some new meds and they just didn't agree with me! Anyway, to get my mind off that and onto better things, I starting cruising some of my favorite websites! SNR Card Universe was announcing a blog hop over the next few days. So I followed to Sweet and Sassy Stamps....long story short, here are my three entrants for one of my first hops. I only own a handful of Christmas stamps, so the choices were limited.
The first challenge was a sketch, which I loved! I used a digi stamp I'd had forever. And layered it with the beautiful holiday SEI paper from T2P. As a matter of fact, all three of my cards were made with that paper line!


My second card was for the challenge asking for FLOWERS! This is close to what I had considered doing for my Thanksgiving cards this year, so it was good to play with the silk flower and the labels.
My last card was for the final challenge that asked you to use Non-Traditional Christmas colors...
well, now that the world has started using almost EVERY color of the rainbow during the holidays, it wasn't easy. (I even saw a gorgeous card with purple and orange the other day and it wasn't for Halloween!)
So, thanks Sassy&Sweet Stamps, and Liz at the Thoughts2Paper store for making my day a little less "yucky"...
And wish me luck!
