Joy to the World Q-Tip tree

It's Thanksgiving in the USA today and it's the first time I am not making a turkey in 35 years!! We are invited to our son's girlfriend's parents house for appetizers and dinner so I have my Mountain Dew apples cooking in the oven to take with us. Our Christmas tree is up, the wreaths are on the windows. Need to get my cards done and addressed, especially for those outside the US since it takes weeks to get them there. This is my non-traditional holiday card. Used q-tips dipped in white acrylic paints on this kraft cardstock. Added a gold die cut star on top.

Christmas Tree ribbon tag

 Here we are, the week of  Thanksgiving!! This year has gone so fast! I made a Christmas tag this time for this challenge. I hope you can tell it's a Christmas tree made out of ribbon.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

I love this set and I have even personalized a few with last names at the top of the mantle. I was inspired by the stocking in the first challenge and decided just to color one of the stockings instead of all 5 stockings.

Starry Night Interactive

This is an interactive card I learned to make in Concord & 9th's Summer Class online. It can turn from a night sky to a sunshiney day. I love this card even though it took a while to make with all the tiny die cuts on it. Perfect for a camping enthusiast which I don't know of any but still makes a cute card. I could do another one without the camper I suppose.

From Our Home to Yours

My last craft show went pretty well. I have 3 more to do before the season is done. It was a long day, from 7 am - 4 pm by the time we got all set up and all taken down. Next one is this Sunday, at a different location. We'll see how I do!!

I love Tim Holtz dies but whoa, does this have a lot of layers to make it look pretty! LOL I die cut it in different shades of green. No room for a star on top since it filled up the whole card!
