This is officially my first Christmas card of the year. I know that by the time Christmas actually rolls around, I will be completely tired of creating Christmas cards and projects. But this being my first, was really fun. I always enjoy working with October Afternoon products. In fact, I actually get to attend their HUGE annual warehouse sale this year and I'm SO excited about it. Lucky me!
As You Like It Challenge Blog - Your Favorite Season and Why - My favorite season is Winter/Christmas time. The reason for this is because I grew up in northern Minnesota where there is always LOTS of snow in the Winter. Being that I now live in the deserts of Nevada, this time of year makes me reminisce about home. I also love Christmas for so many reasons; including traditions, family, cookies and Winter break when my kids are all at home!
Paper Take Weekly #93 - Sketchie Free-For-All - I absolutely love the sweet sketches at Paper Take Weekly, and this week you are allowed to choose your own sketch. I chose to follow Sketch # and I had a lot of fun with it.
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog - Simon Says "Anything Goes" - I absolutely LOVE Simon Says Stamp. They have ALL the best scrapping supplies in their store, and they offer fabulously fun challenges each week.
Paper Crafts Connections - Make & Share Holiday Cards - Inspired by an older issue I have using these lovely October Afternoon products (always a favorite source of inspiration for me!)
Have a great week, and thanks SO MUCH for stopping by!

What a beautiful Christmas card! I've been itching to do something Christmas myself (mainly because I found a brand new Stampin' Up Winter set at Goodwill for less than $5) but I haven't "given in" yet! :)
