Anita has a fun and easy fold for the TLC today - check out the challenge and her pdf tutorial HERE.
I had another idea, but I've forgotten what it was, sigh. In the meantime, here are a couple of quick Christmas cards. I buy pads of coloured cardstock when LIDL (discount supermarket) stocks them - many of the colours are useful, but I'm always left with some of the brighter ones. I was able to look through my Christmas DP and find some that went very well with this bright dark green colour. I used that for both cards. The one on the left has a little PB image coloured with Polychromos pencils, fussy-cut and added. Since I thought more than one item on the checklist ought to be ticked off, I cut a Sizzix tree from the same green card with glitter card to dress it up. The checklist is attached with a brad, and I used a small strip of wood-look DP to create a floor for the little walnut shell bed.
For the other card, that angel has been floating around my desk for over a year so I was happy to find she was still in good condition. She was cut from a piece of serendipity squares background. I just added gold metallic pen along the scroll design in the robe and on her instrument, and added some SN silver glitter pen over the wing. Sentiment is Penny Black, and to tie in with that I added a few die-cut notes and the treble clef from the same gold card.

Wonderful cards using Anita's fun fold challenge. I enjoyed reading about your design process .... these are lovely! My favorite is the one with the beautiful angel, PB sentiment and the music notes!

I love that little mouse in the walnut shell bed. Years and years ago, I made some ornaments with walnut shells and little figures. Some I painted gold. A fun memory. That paper is cool, sort of retro mid century, which I love. Nice that you completed two more cards.

Fabulous paper for this fun fold card. Both cards look wonderful, but, I too, am leaning towards that adorable mouse with this list half done. I bet he's already dreaming of all his Christmas goodies.
