That's right, you read the title correctly. I have made something to share for some mid-month inspiration at CHNC Extra. I hardly EVER get anything done for that, as Hazel makes it optional, but this time, I thought I would be a little different and join in.
AND, to throw you off some more, I made not one but FOUR cards...HA HA! So the story is, I had these journaling cards already cut out on my desk for a time when I wanted to create something while lacking some mojo. That time had come. So I grabbed these up, went back to the paper pad they came from to search out coordinating papers, and viola! A little assembly line production procedures, and *BOOM*, 4 more Christmas cards done for the stash. Incidentally, I lost the cover of the paper pad, but I'm pretty sure it's from MME. Here are some individual card pics:
On the top card, I did cover the smaller sentiment area with a Spellbinders Label die and a Momenta sentiment. All 4 journaling cards are backed by a kraft Spellbinders scalloped rectangle mat, and all card bases are kraft as well. I used fun foam to add dimension behind the journaling panels. *CAS love.*
Challenges:
12 Months of Christmas Link Up #27: ATG, or optional Christmas Angels theme
Sparkles Christmas #74: Use silver or gold (top card sentiment is embossed in gold)
Christmas Card Challenges #8: ATG or optional photo inspiration
CHNC #324: ATG or optional Santa theme

Well, I suppose that's all for now. I should probably get myself to bed...we had a snow day today, so I stayed up late last night watching Netflix. Headed back to work tomorrow! God Bless the rest of your week!
