Let's get this party started!

The Christmas party that is. I so love Christmas--it is such a fabulous and exciting season. It is the birth of our Savior and there is much to celebrate. I for one will wish EVERYONE I see a Merry Christ-mas! I will not under any circumstance be forced to say Happy Holiday's. If someone is celebrating Christmas they should know what the holiday is--if they don't believe that is fine but that just means they are celebrating December 25th and should not call it Christmas! OK--my post on that for the year, lol!

I have four more Christmas cards to share with you today. Remember the challenge on Latenightstamper's this week is to create cards for your favorite holiday--as you can tell this is mine. I send over 150 Christmas cards each year and my goal is to NOT send a different card to everyone. I am over half way there and here are four more.

All supplies on all cards are current Stampin Up! products.


This first card is for this weeks SCS sketch challenge.

Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Real Read, Whisper White
Ink: Real Red, Always Artichoke
Other: ribbon, marker, embossing folder

This next card is using the beautiful set Holy Triptych. I just love this Melon Mambo color for Christmas this year--you probably already figured that out though, lol.

Stamps: Holy Triptych, Teeny Tiny Wishes.
Paper: Melon Mambo, More Mustard, Whisper White, Basic Black, So Saffron DP, Razzleberry Lemonade DP
Ink: Basic Black
Other: colored pencils, blender pen, brads, ribbon, circle punches

The next one up is the beautiful angel from the Holy Triptych set.


Stamps: Holy Triptych, Many Merry Messages

And finally this is for today's 411 sketch challenge. Great sketch and one of my most favorite sets ever is being showcased here.

Now I am off to sleep on a cold cement floor with my son and a whole bunch of other Scouts! We are visiting Old Fort Niagara and sleeping in there over night. Keep me in your prayers, lol! It is going to be VERY cold and my arthritis does not like that---ahhhhhh the things we do for our kids!

Have a fabulous weekend!
