Christmas Joy

This is my card using Lesley's Merry Monday Sketch #11. I think it turned out really cute and it went together so quickly -- would be an excellent card to mass produce. My image is recycled from a old Christmas card, cut out and embossed with a scalloped oval Nestability.

I am also entering this card in the Dutch Dare Challenge which is to use dots and stripes. The green/brown strip of paper has both stripes and dots but you can't ever have too many dots, so I added more with the red panel!

I've been meaning to share this cute little basket that I made several days ago. Saw one over on LeAnne's site, Wee Inklings. The instructions for the basket can be found here.

Have a wonderful day, my friends!

A Look of Nature

Good Morning All! I surely do hope that Blogger is more cooperative today than it was yesterday. I had a lot of trouble getting to blog posts and once there, more problems leaving comments.

My card this morning uses Repeat Impressions Sketch J1112 --

I will also enter the Dutch Dare Challenge -- For the Boys. I need to get some masculine birthday cards made for folks in the church this next month so this challenge was perfect!

I used Annabelle Stamps, All Things Grow and cut the sentiment with a Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio die. The green background panel was embossed with a Cuttlebug Folder, Forest Branches, and the border was done with Martha Stewart's Grass border punch. The border is adhered to the inside bottom edge of the card and the front panel is cut a little shorter than the rest of the card.

Thanks for coming by,

Betty
