Christmas CraZy

This is card #4 is for a group that Jeanette started on SCS.  Jeanette is the Queen of Christmas and has way more trees and Christmas decorations in her house that I do---and that is quite an accomplishment!  This group is called Christmas CraZy.  This is a bi-monthly "swap" in which we are paired with someone in the group for those two months.  We are to send a kit to our partner--two identical images and two pieces of patterned paper. We can also send a matching sentiment.  That is it--no embellishments like ribbon, brads, buttons, etc., or additional cardstock--just images and two pieces of Christmas patterned paper.  We are to send the kit to our partner during the odd numbered month--like May.  We then make and post our card on the even month!  Then, next round, we are paired with another person and get to do it all again.

For July and August, we are to send a full kit to our partner.  We send images and patterned paper, but also include embellishments and ribbons or fibers.  This time, I was matched with Imke and received a great kit all the way from Germany. I hope that Imke and the others like my card! 

I think the Whiff of Joy image is too cute.  I added some Wink of Stella clear glitter on the star, the tree and on the shoes to give it a bit of Christmas Sparkle!

Snow Angel

It is the start of February 2017, and I am the recipient of the card kits in January.  I have received all of the kits and I trying to get them all done in February.  I have two months after "my" month to complete and post my cards, so I do have until the end of March, but I am going to try to get them down much sooner.  My goal for this card kit group this time around is to make two projects from every kit.  Every person who sends me a kit includes quite a few images--and many times there are a couple of different images included in each kit.  And, they senders are very generous in the papers and embellishments, so I can easily make two projects from each kit.   Wish me Luck on both counts!  Oh, and in case you have not made the connection if you are a frequent visitor to my blog, my wish list for the month of kits was Snow!  Snowmen, snowflakes, snowing, and anything with that fluffy, white stuff.  Not heavy--just fluffy!

This is the second card is from kit #3, sent by Kelly.   Kelly sent a fun kit with 2 different images--the Ski Bunny from yesterday and this cute snow angle today!  She also included a bunch of great patterned papers and matching embellishments for me to use.  I hope I did OK and that Kelly likes my creations.  Thanks for a great kit Kelly--Thanks Bunches!!!! 

Three kits down--9 to go!  This group runs the entire year of 2017 and we have someone to send to every month, until December.

I also used a glitter pen on the star and on his wings.
