Hello, and happy Saturday night! I hope you all are enjoying your weekend...we stayed home today, due to snow and nasty stuff in the forecast. We didn't get a whole lot of snow, but the hubby was telling me earlier that the roads were bad?? If you live where there is nasty weather going on, I hope you are staying safe!
I'm here to share with you all 2 cards for the Christmas stash:
I decided that I was going to make 2 similar cards this time, since the sketch part was already done for me by Stella at Bugaboo:
I didn't use Bugaboo images; I chose instead to use 2 wood stamps from Recollections that I have sitting out, but had never used before. In searching thru my Christmas-patterned papers, I found these that I thought would match the images nicely. I did some simple coloring of the images, added some bling in the top left corners, and these cards were done.
Challenges:

ABC Christmas: "A" for ATG, and "B" for something beginning with "B" (blue)
