I stumbled upon this post on my friend Pam's blog, and decided to join the fun. Since i included some Christmas Cards in my Top 10 post, I won't repeat those.
1 ~ This card I made for the Polar Animal Challenge at Gingersnap Creations still makes me smile every time I look at it … I just love the glittery snow globe (such a fabulous find in the holiday tag section … so much cheaper than "standard" card embellishments), the layered snowflakes, and the unexpected color combination … and it made the top three at Unscripted Sketches too.
2 – This one used a new-to-me technique … Double Distressing … which was so very easy & produced such a cool effect. It also used ribbon I received across the miles from one of my dearest friends in Finland … and a favorite holiday sentiment from CatsLife Press.
3 ~ The gorgeous Pine Tree Grove from Artistic Outpost made for some very easy & pretty holiday cards. I loved the effect of this monochromatic distressed design.
4 ~ This faux burlap stocking I made for Kimberly Crawford's Twelve Trendy Days of Christmas was a favorite because it turned out even better on paper than I imagined in my head … love when that happens.
5 ~ And finally, my zipper tree. This one required a special trip to the fabric store for the Moxie Fab World Challenge … but it was worth it. I loved the effect.
And remember, if don't want to wait until the last moment to make your holiday cards in 2011, hook up with Lauren & I over at the new Jingle Belle Blog where we're going to take back December one holiday card at a time.
