Christmas cards

Well it seemed appropriate to make these this afternoon with the snow falling. Thankfully everywhere was so wet that it didn't lay, We've had everything today, snow, sleet, rain and sun, though not much of the latter.

I recently bought 2 stamps which I had seen on several blogs last Christmas and as they were reduced at Dies to Die For couldn't resist them. The first stamp is from Gillian Roberts and is just so cute and is for the following challenges:
Winter Wonderland Fantastic Sketch
Tuesday Taggers Love
Simon Says Love
Cupcake Red and White
Cute Card Thursday Love
Crazy 4 Challenges Red
Totally Gorjuss Love
Crafty Catz Buttons and bows
Totally Papercraft Buttons and bows


The second is a Kraftin' Kimme of course. Lots of glitter on this as befits such a gorgeous girl. This is for:
Allsorts 321 recipe of your choice, 3 snowflakes, 2 papers, 1 brad
Papertake sketch which fitted a tall card, thanks
Lily-bootoo 1 tag and 1 ribbon
Passion for Promarkers Agean, sky blue and cool aqua Promarkers
Quixotic Tag it
