Merry at Christmas Kickstart

 Hello-

As I was checking out Facebook, Michele of I Card Everyone popped up in my messenger and asked if I wanted to play cards.  Well - heck yes! So I asked what she was doing and she was working on a card for Christmas Kickstart.  Since its on my to do list, I decided to join in.  

First of course, we had to catch up, but then the cardmaking began.  I was inspired by the houses, the bottle brush trees and the red and white striped packages.


Can you see my points of inspiration from the photo?



Go visit Michele and see her take on the challenge too.

Thanks for stopping by.

Man, you are FAST!! Just when I went to capture your blog link, I saw your card had already posted!!
I'm so happy to have the chance to see this in closeup mode, Cat! I LOve that you've zeroed in on those red and white presents! Still tons of things in this photo to inspire us - second helpings perhaps?

Oh Cat, this is perfect. I love how the image has inspired you and that you have kept to red and white. It is just brilliant, I am always so amazed by how you can come up with something so inspired so quickly. The little cogs in my brain seem to turn so slowly! Thanks so much for joining us at Christmas kickstarter this month xx

I was looking at the houses on the mantel too, but your card just captures the essence of the photo. Love the crisp clean look.

Wonderful card! My eye was caught by the red & white striped packages too, but I also LOVE bottle-brush stamp sets!
