Be Creative and Enjoy Creative Crafters in November

   The Creative  Crafters starts a monthly challenge every 15th of the month and I've made a Christmas card as inspiration for this month. 

This challenge is always "Anything Goes".  
Be sure to join The Creative  Crafters challenge! 

I thought I would like this tree die, but guess what?  I LOVE this die.  So easy - only two dies and I just spread snow on top of the white layer.  (TRUE SNOW, that is). You could use glitter paper too.  This is the first time I've used the tree.  It's perfect for filling an A2 card size.

October Card Chain Challenge Reveal

I just couldn't find trees in my die cuts and overlooked my Stencils.

Now I'm armed and dangerous.  hahaha

I mailed this card without taking a picture and thanks to Imke, I now have a picture to show you my creation based on "trees".  
The backgrounds are all stenciled.  I used Aleene's True Snow on the 9c panel.  All the other panels have die cuts on top of the stenciled backgrounds.

Playing with Lawn Fawn Critters

  Die Cut Divas is having a Critters month at Die Cut Divas 

with a $25 gift card to their store.

Everyone loves critters, so I'm thrilled to let a few critters enjoy their home. Lawn Fawn has so many cute critters to play with, so I'm having a play. It's Challenge Time at Die Cut Divas and it's all about Critters!

I wasn't sure if that background would work or not and it's been in my stash forever, at least it seems so. I kept going through my stamps and dies, finding bits I wanted to add to my little scene. I am quite satisfied with it and made it for someone special who's had to move away.

Supplies:
Lawn Fawn Build-a-House

Lawn Fawn Build-a-House Beach add on

I selected Cameo 8 for my image to color.  I don't think I've ever colored her before and if I have it's been YEARS.  So many beautiful women in the gallery to choose from. I do think that I would choose a different blue for the image background.  I hope you like her as much as I do.
