Christmas begins....

I know that there are some who read my blog who have already started their christmas makes.......and others who will be horrified at the very thought of it. 
I enjoy making christmas cards......but hate feeling under pressure to get them made in a limited time.....so am happy to start making a few each month.
I've found it's quicker and more enjoyable to use a limited set of supplies to make a few cards at the same time.
These 3 have all been made from one winter decorative paper pad......some plain card......a little white fun flock.......and snowflake punches.
 And so my christmas crafting begins.....
A few challenges....'holidays' for Crafty Creations......'christmas' for CRAFT Challenge......'wings' for Crafty Little Fairies......'pretty in pink' for Allsorts.....'cold outside' for Christmas at Sweet Stampin......and 'cute' for Chrimbo Crackers.

What a cracking set of Chrimbo cards you have here, Jacky and some splendid paper combinations - just lovely and a great start to your 2014 quota too

Well I'm jealous, don't think I could get my head round Christmas when I am knee deep in holy communions, confirmations and christenings Jacky but go you! They are all just so gorgeous. Thanks for the printer help. I will be pricing my replacements there for sure.

How FUN - glad I'm not the only one who's gotten a start! These are absolutely adorable!

Oh dear! I just can't bear to think about wintery cards when there's still snow on the ground (and more forecast) in March. All I want are bright colors and beautiful flowers! Nonetheless, I love your cards, and you will be way ahead of me come fall.

Loving the Christmas cards. I could never be that organised!

Can I ask what pens you use to colour the stamps?

Oh my, this is the second time I've seen the word Christmas this morning Jacky! :-) ...Very wise to start now though when you have the time to enjoy making your cards...time just flies by, doesn't it? Your designs are just gorgeous!
Happy Weekend!

So cute! I especially love that top one. Since I never sent out the "gnome" Christmas cards I made in December, I'm really ahead of the game for next year! LOL!
I am working on finishing up my December Daily right now though, so I'm feeling your Christmas spirit.
