Peace Joy Love

Hello -

It is warming up today, might hit high 50's.  After a bit of a lazy morning snuggling under the blankets to soak up any warmth. I headed to my crafty space.

I am woefully behind on my Christmas Cards. I had hoped to have 5 made each month.  I have 3 including this one.

This cute trio is heading to the following challenges: CAS Christmas - Joy, Kickstart Christmas Challenge - Red, ABC Christmas Challenge - Cats/Dogs (I went with both).





I kept my critters in various earthtones so that the RED would stand out. This Simon Says Stamp stamp is a longtime favorite that got little love the last two years.

Thanks so much for visiting.  Have you started your Christmas stash?

What a cute stamp and awesomely colored! I haven't made a single Christmas card yet. I'm usually right on it. Don't know what's wrong with me.

Such a sweet card, Cat - they're a lovely little crew. We've got very strange weather here in the UK. It's not that cold but it's raining heavily on and off and the winds are very strong. Thanks for playing at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x

Love the focus on red and great colouring. No, I haven't started on Christmas yet. I can't even begin to think about next Christmas until at least September xx

Sweet! Love the cute images, and the red does pop. Christmas Stash? Took January off, and since it's mid-Febuary (ok later), I should probably start...

Don't be sad, the main thing is that you stick with the Christmas card production. Maybe you can do more next month. This card is very cute !!

Love that stamp and your coloring is perfect! I do have some holiday cards already made. I am going to try to get some done as the months fly by, too.

You were right that the red is perfect with the earth tones and your critters look so festive! Love the different neutral tones almost as much as the red hat and scarf! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Christmas!
