Christmas Stampin All Year Long Challenge #14 - (04-27-09)

Hello Friends! It's that time again! It's Christmas Stampin All Year Long challenge time! We're on week 14! Wow, already? Yeah, it does go by really quickly. I'm really having fun making these Christmas cards. . .mainly because a lot of my Christmas stamps do get neglected. I usually see them only once a year and lemme' tell yah, I have a lot of them. I rarely ever get to use many of them because by the time Christmas rolls around, I don't have the time to make too many Christmas cards. I usually resort to a fixed design using a few stamps rather than different cards, individualized and unique for each person that I give it to. Having the challenge blog is really helping me not only to make unique cards for Christmas but also use stamps that I otherwise would not have used.

This cute Christmas bird image is by the Greeting Farm. You may be familiar with the Greeting Farm stamps for their Anya stamps but the Greeting Farm have other characters and other theme stamps that are fabulous for different occasion including Christmas.

This stamp set is called "X-mas Birds". Aren't they cute or what? You know. . I didn't know what to color the birds so I ended up coloring them red but after I colored them, I didn't like that they were too red? Arggh!

I colored the birds with my Copic Markers and added a bit of glitter to puffy ball on the bird's cap.

Anyway, stop by Christmas Stampin All Year Long and check out the fantastic cards that the design team created! It will surely inspire you to create your Christmas cards early this year!!

Have a great Monday, Folks!
