Yep, my cards today are for Christmas, 2012. ABC Christmas Challenges has released their first challenge for this year - A is for Anything Christmas. The oranament stamp is from Inkadinkado, Holiday Silhouettes, and the sentiment is Stampin' Up. The ornament was "fussy cut" and popped up on a sponged Nestabilities die cut.
The layout of my card comes from the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches #17. Here's the sketch:
This is my first entry at this challenge site; I was too late with my card last week. I do like their neat and clean sketches; I've been trying to get comfortable with other styles, but neat and clean remains my favorite!
I will also be entering this card at For Fun Challenges - Anything Goes.
Thought that I might try to sell some Christmas cards this year since we don't have an outlet for cards in English here so I made an extra card while I was at it. The Christmas tree stamp is also from the same set by Inkadinkado and the sentiment is from Layers of Color, Christmas Verses.
So long and best wishes for a happy day,
Betty

Very pretty cards! Bet you could do a good business there. Good luck.
Great jump Betty, I need to do the same thing, maybe one Christmas card a week......this card is awesome!
Just think if you sell your cards you can use the money to buy more stampin stuff! Beautiful card GF!
Both cards are wonderful, great non traditional christmas colours on the first card. I love the tree in the second card with those fabulous imbedded images.
Beautiful Christmas cards! Fabulous job with the sketch! Don't blame you for getting an early start - very smart! Need to take a lesson from you!

Yes, you should sell your cards. I love how the top one is made with untraditional colors.
Thanks for playing "Anything Goes" with us at For Fun Challenges. Hope to see you again on Wednesday when our new challenge is posted.
I've been out of town, and you've been very busy! Love your cards, Betty! You should definitely sell them! You go girl! Hugs...
Betty,
Tried to comment on these last night! Very pretty Christmas cards, love the tree one. You really should try to sell them it never hurts to try.
Last night when I tried to comment, I told you how the day before yesterday it was 50 degrees here. People were walking around in shorts and tee shirts. Then yesterday we had 5 inches of SNOW and today it will not get out of the low 20's. Just can't believe it.
Great cards Betty! Thanks for sharing with us on For Fun.
Way to go getting a jump start on your Christmas cards this year. They're both beautiful. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!
