The Challenge #20

I just got all the Christmas cards addressed and ready to mail.  I not only had my own, but my parent's and those that I send to the homebound from the church.  Only mine were handmade.  It wasn't a bad job.  I just put on some Christmas music and stuffed away.  I must admit to using mailing labels but the signatures are done by hand.  The worst part was licking all the envelopes.  Can't someone invent a tasty glue?

I will still be making a few more cards in case I need them. If not, it will be a start for next year.  Today's card is for The Challenge that the talented Lesley Croghan runs.


I decided that the color scheme works well with snowmen and since I had a different one on my Inky Antics set, I used him.


The scrap in the background was left over from an earlier card and was in the right colors from the inspiration (minus the navy).  I stamped on watercolor paper, colored with Distress Markers, added some crystal Stickles and cut around the left side.  The sentiment is also from that stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have all your Christmas cards ready to go - or gone.
