3 Months Till Christmas Hop / Challenge

  Hello Crafty Friends,
 
Today is the 25th of the month, which means it is time for our Christmas countdown. There are now 3 months till Santa's arrival. I took last month off from the hop so I am behind by a couple cards, but I am sure there will be more time and challenges (see below) to make holiday cards.
 
Here are my Christmas cards...
~ Die-Cut ~
Materials:
Heidi Grace paper ~ Jolly
white card stock
"Just Because" Cards Cricut cartridge ~ gingerbread (p. 58) cut at 5 1/4"
green ribbon
green gems
wiggly eyes 
 
~ Digi/Stamp ~
Materials:
Bo Bunny paper ~ St Nick Toyland
gold card stock
Recollections holiday stamps
gold ink
gold ribbon
gold gems
 
 A Christmas Challenge:
You will have one week to create two holiday cards...one using a die-cut and another card using a stamp or digi. You may choose any color, sketch, or combine with other challenges, but please post both cards together. One winner will be picked randomly and announced Wednesday, October 3rd. The prize will be a variety of crafting goodies...Oooh, I love surprises! Have you seen all the crafting goodies at the stores already? Hobby Lobby has aisles full of ornaments, trees, stickers, etc.
 
Here is this month's line-up...

If you are interested in joining next month, just leave a comment. You will feel quite relieved knowing you are getting your holiday cards done in advance and you can spend all that extra time with the family instead when it is most important.
 
Now hop on over to see what Sara has made for this month's holiday cards.
 
Stay Creative,
Georgiana
