Greetings everyone, this is my entry for MMSC82. Come join us for the fun this month. We are doing things a little different and have posted 3 sketches for the whole month of December. The Midnight Madness crew will be back in January after their holiday hiatus.
I absolutely loved this sketch. I used one of my favorite images from Fred She Said. The snowflakes are Martha Stewart punches, and the poinsettia is a marvy punch-both the small and medium. The black doily was made with Martha Stewart Art Deco Shells corner punch. The flourish is a Sizzx die. The border at the bottom is a Spellbinders Grand Lace bordabilities.
Thanks for stopping by today. Today is December 1, I can't believe it!!! I think I have been making Christmas Cards since July and I never grow tired of it!!! Have a super day.

I love seeing your projects a second time, Carol. I always see details that didn't register the first time!! This one is no exception. I'm seeing those beautiful blue-tinged flowers in the upper left for the first time. Gorgeous details everywhere!

I know I always say "WOW" Bearzi. I'm running out of adjectives. Must get my thesaurus out; yikes, I mean check it out on line. Only old folks look at a real book any more! Your image is darling, your sparkle is sparkle-ishish and your use of punches, borders and bling are a spectacular sight. Now, get out your ornament punch and let's get to it. We can have an ornament border punch showdown; however, I know you'd win so what's the point!! LOL!! Wonderful work and I predict 7.5 hours per my crystal ball!! TFS!

P.S. We could have another group just for you called the "Time-Kateerz" based on how much time it takes to make a card. I know you would win again hands down. You sure take the fun out of my brilliant ideas!

Like you, I never tire of making Christmas cards. Your little girl holding the bird is just adorable and I really like that black doily. The flowers are yummy and your card is so wonderfully detailed. I'll be coming into your state of Georgia this weekend. I'll wave as I pass by. LOL Oh, I have to edit as I see Pamzi has chimed in...pay her no attention!!!!!:rolleyes:

Your coloring has gone to a new level with your new Copics - this is colored unbelievably well. I am so impressed - but then, I am impressed with every card you make so that is nothing new. The colors and papers are wonderful on this, and I don't think I can think of any adjectives that could ever do this card justice....so I am going to use a statement similar to one Bertlady would use:
YIKES! Dear Card, YOU are unbelievably Beautiful! WOW!!!!!!!!
