Thank you, Susan, for so sweetly mentioning two of my cards. You gave me a warm smile on this VERY chilly Sunday morning. Hugs, Sallie

Good grief, Charlie Brown! I sure must have been in a haze this week to have missed seeing some of the beauties that Susan shared. Thanks, Susan, for pointing them out.

As for the ones that I DIDN'T miss...hope you enjoy these...

Thanks so very much Susan for the mention of my card here...smiling!!
hugs,
Karen

[Benzi]

Susan, thank you for brightening my day with your mention of my Holly in a Basket card. I'm so happy you liked it.
Thanks, Karen, for the notification.

[kendra]

Thanks so much for the nice surprise Fionna.

[swldebbie]

Thanks for the shout-out, Diane. After a decidedly cranky scales this a.m., it was just what I needed to divert my attention to a happy place. Thanks, too, to Karen for letting me know.

Here are some of my CAS favorites from the week:

Nature's Music by k dunbrook
I loved the softness of Karen's snowflakes. I felt like I was snug inside looking out the corner of a frosted window at the snow.

Deck the Halls by Arizona Maine
I thought the music on the holly leaves and berries was just perfect for this card.

Red Packing Tape by Rox71
I really thought the inclusion of the printed packing tape was a great idea and looks so nice on this card. It goes so well with the textured cardstock.

Christmas Blessings by dostamping
I loved all the sparkle (ESPECIALLY the red glittery star!) on this perfectly CAS card.

Thanks by hobbydujour
A "12" on the 1-10 sweetness scale. Sallie's embossed dots and fancy frame highlight her adorable focal image.

Endless Wishes CAS Notecard with Washi Tape by juls716
This card has all the elements for a perfect CAS card. The red "Christmas" is a perfect visual balance to the colorful strips of washi tape.

Merry Christmas Pine by ohmypaper!
No question about it -- Angela's ornaments caught my attention right away.

Ice Covered Bulbs by jandjccc
Wow, wow, WOW!!! The deeply hued bulbs and Mary's perfect eye for where to put the snow makes this card a winner.

Warm Winter Wishes by bearpaw
I loved the contrast between the soft snowflakes on the panel and the crisp die cut ones.

Talking Turkey by jenmitchell
Adorable card, but it was the impression plate that made the card for me. It added just the right "cozy comfort" factor I associate with Thanksgiving.

[susie nelson]

Thanks so much, Susan Bri, for including my glimmer poinsettia in your weekly favorites. I am truly honored by the mention. I loved this card but until my classes see it, it's not a given that it will be a hit. Had my first class Friday. It's a huge hit. Thank you again, Susian.

To pay it forward, I would like to mention these lovely cards done by wonderful stampers:
