PPA 279

It was easy to play along with this pretty Christmas combination from the Pals Paper Arts Color challenge!  I am way behind on Christmas cards.  I don't even think I will send them out, or maybe I'll do a combination of store bought (gasp!) and handmade.  I kept mine simple.  I love the ornament framelits in gold!  I used a Paper Pumpkin sentiment and the fancy dot embossing folder for some texture.

We would love for you to join us in this challenge!  Go to Pals Paper Arts.

My first Christmas card of 2015

****IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR MY PALS PAPER ARTS SUBMISSION, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN**  I made a mistake in posting.


I finally did it!  I made my first Christmas card for this year.  I have no idea how many I will get to, but I know I will need a handful.  I can remember when I made about 80 per year.  I haven't been able to do that for the last few years.  As a matter of fact, I stressed over them so much that I chose not to send handmade.  I made several to give to close family members and sent store bought cards to the rest.  I'm trying to see if I can make a bunch this year but I vow not to stress.

The designer series papers in the new Stampin' Up! holiday catalog make it easy!  I will be posting a few samples in the near future.  Here is one using the Delicate Ornament thinlits and Embellished Ornaments stamp set.  The paper is Home for Christmas.  You can check out the patterns in the catalog by checking the link below.
