It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

It's beginning to look like Christmas and we are in full Christmas mode at For Fun Challenges.    We'd love to see your Christmas cards this week.

I'm in full Christmas mode now!  I really enjoyed making this card, both my kids sat at the table and coloured with me, the first time that's ever happened.  I'll have to post their attempts next!  You can't tell from this photo but this card really sparkles.  I've used stickles on all areas covered by snow and all around the edges of the card.  By the way, the colouring is not smudged in places, it just seems to be the way the colour is reflected in the glitter.  Grrr.  I've tried taking several photos but it seems to show up somewhere in all of them.  The image is from Michelle Perkett, our sponsor for this week.  I love her snow family images.  Of course I love anything related to snow!  Probably because we get so little here.

Now onto my card:
The Princess came over on Sunday, wanting to learn how to make cards. We had a good time playing with my stash. It took 3 and half hours but she made a Valentine for her Sweetie. After much studying, she realized she has a very different style than mine, wanting to pull out any paper that is very loud, and the more embellishment the better!

Wow this card is busy! I really wanted to use this image and the Princess decreed this was the perfect paper. With all the hearts, they compliment each other well, but is far more busy than I would normally choose. She loved it though and wants this one for her birthday. The sentiment is from Inkadoo's Birthday cupcake set and the sentiment panel is sponged with TH ink.
