I've been wanting to use this stamp and dies ever since I got them last year. I plan to make 10 of the same for our church bazaar in the fall....I think the bell ringers in the church should love them!

Here are my cards for October with the theme of "holly".
These were a bit challenging because of cutting and placing the red velvet berries and for cutting out the holly spray die diagonally on the Old Olive card stock.

So, there is no minute like the last minute right?

I played along in the Dirty Dozen Christmas card prompt this month.
seen here

made a more winter type card with a sweet scene for a FS challenge here.

did a silly fishing Santa here

holy cow I really did do 4 this month who knew? (hand painted wreaths here)

another silly one as those seem to come easy to me lately.

and played with a happy birthday gift die of a lantern. ( the window openings were not as big as I think I would need to create a scene inside )

Ann, thanks for keeping this thread going. I know I don't check in as often as I wish I did.

I'm working on some current challenges as well as my "Challenge Catch-up" cardmaking goal.

My card has gold holly leaves on the frame and red berries on the poinsettia corner die-cuts.

Here is my Alternative #2 card from the Stampin' Up Joy of Sharing Card Kit: The Wonders & Blessings of Christmas #2 (Joy of Sharing Kit Alternative #2)!
