Is it too late for a Christmas Card?

This card was my idea for my Christmas card! It took me a long time to find the right placement and color combo. I invested a lot of time in the design. Then on Oct. 6th my daughter was diagnosed with Pancreatitis. This is an unbelievable condition from which she is still recovering 4 months later! So, here is the Christmas card!

The background is Ellen Hutson's Twelve Days embossed in gold. The partridge, pear and sentiment  are by Hero Arts from the Color Layering Partridge set.

Stars and Stripes

It is almost the Fourth of July. Our town puts on a big parade. The military from the local reserve units as well as from Joint Base Lewis McCord participate. It is such a great time to remember how lucky we are to live in this great country!

This is my favorite class so far!!!! Such cute cards!! Wonderful, new techniques!!!

I followed Jennifer McGuire's videos and techniques. So cute!

I used Spellbinders scallop dies and Lawn Fawn's "Critters at the Dog Park" stamps and dies. 

The sentiment and Santa hat are from "Holiday Hounds" by Newton's Nook Design.

Lots of great inspiration today! I find these techniques very challenging!  Below is my sad attempt.

I used Unity Stamp Company's snowflakes from the"Tags, Glorious Tags" set. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp "Holly Berries".

I will keep practicing!!!!
