It's the middle of the month again!

You know what that means, right?  We're even CLOSER to Christmas!  *BIG SMILE*  :)  It also means that the DT at Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Extra have some mid-month cards to help you keep your mojo flowin'.  Here's mine!
 
 
This cutie patootie image is from the talented Tracey over at Fred, She Said.  She comes from the set called Emma The Caroler Pre-Coloured SetI love Emma!  So pretty!  This set comes in 8 different colored versions, which are all perfect!  I really need to print more of these out and make a set of cards!  I kept the layout really simple, to keep all eyes on Emma.  The white panel beneath the image layer is embossed with a Darice snowflake folder, but I forget which one.  The sentiment comes from Papertrey Ink's Signature Christmas set. 
 
Challenges:
 
12 Months of Christmas Link Up #18:  Anything goes or optional silver/gold theme
The Glory of Christmas #86:  Anything goes or optional no patterned paper theme
Sparkles Christmas #65:  Use 2 (or more) dies
Jingle Belles:  Frosty the Snowman (I went with the pre-Frosty version)

A Snowflake's Promise #24:  Anything goes
Crimbo Crackers #108:  Anything goes

Crafting with Friends #22:  Anything goes

  9. Hello, Marie! Your card is adorable! Such a sweet image! I was making two holiday cards a month and then fell off the wagon in March - I'm so behind now! I'm popping in to thank you for entering my candy draw - I saw your comment that you had trouble with the linky but I also saw that a Marie Bingaman was able to enter as #34 - is that you? Hoping it's all good... but if you need me to enter a number for you, just let me know. Have a great weekend!

  13. Beautiful card. Thank you for joining our Challenge last week and hope you join us again in our new Challenge beginning today at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving you with an encouragement from God's Word in Hebrews 3:6 which says, "But Christ is faithful as the Son over God's house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast." Have a blessed week...
