Warmest Wishes card




Oh those lucky, lucky, lucky people that can wear shorts on Christmas.  I'm in a parka and mitten zone.  I've sent this card so someone much further south than me, which is pretty much most of the continental USA.  A fun set to color and I went for a bold Santa shirt.  A note to myself, figure out background paper before you start...I really had to go through my stash to find something that worked.

Furry & Bright Kitten card




This sweet kitten is all wrapped up in holiday lights.  Reason #453 that I just gave away my large Christmas tree and will stick with a small one that is out of reach of my cats.  I mixed stamps from Newton's Nook Designs and My Favorite Things to create this card.  The sentiments were larger from MFT so I went with that.
