12 Months of Christmas New Challenge

Happy November 1st! Can you believe it? Only 2 months left to 2018. How fast the time flies. And today begins a new challenge over at 12 Months of Christmas Link Up. With the upcoming holiday season I'm sure you'll be moving ahead with your Christmas cards. Why not share them with us at 12 Months of Christmas? We are always anything goes but we do have an optional theme each month. This month is All Tied Up: use ribbon, twine, string or lace on your card.

Our sponsor this month is Limited Runs Digital Stamps. I used Christmas Carolers on my card colored with Spectrum Noir markers and die cut with Spellbinder's Teardrop Circles. I used three designer papers, all from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles: 2 from the Vintage Damask set and one from the North Pole set.

The sentiment is from a retired Flourishes stamp set, heat embossed with black embossing powder. The damask paper is die cit from MFT Essential Fishtail Sentiment Strips. For embellishments I used MFT Layered Snowflakes die cut from silver sparkle paper and to follow the theme, I added a red ribbon bow with a small star charm attached. As you make your Christmas cards this month, share them with us at 12 Months of Christmas Link Up. We love to see them. Check out all the design team cards and rules.

• Simon Says Wednesday: anything goes
• Addicted to Stamps and More: anything goes
• Crafty Hazelnut Christmas: anything goes
• The Outlawz Festive Friday: Christmas

It's been raining the last two days. We've had almost 4 inches of rain and the wind has been whipping around the corners of the house. Our leaves have been beautiful but this rain is dropping them off the trees quickly. Last night we only had 13 trick or treaters. I didn't count the twins because they didn't take any candy. They dressed up as Linus and Lucy from the Peanuts Comic Strip. Arthur loves his blanket! Here they are with their Mama.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a super day!
