Not Done With Christmas Cards

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

A few days before Christmas I made a card for Jason's Grandma.  I scraplifted it from a card I saw on Pinterest.  The original is from Jacqui of Crafting Daydreams.

I am entering my card in a few challenges.

• Challenges 4 Everybody - Anything Goes
• Creative Inspirations - Merry Christmas

Still Making Santa Cards

Yesterday was a new challenge with Stamp-n-Doodle. The theme is anything goes. I am using the Making A List image.

This challenge is going to go on for two weeks. This gives us Design Team members a holiday break.  Thanks for looking!

The Unusual Challenge

Whoa!! I totally forgot to post my challenge! I have been so distracted with Lindsey's birthday party and Christmas stuff. I still have to do some more cleaning and go grocery shopping this afternoon.  Yikes!  Why do I wait to the last minute??!!

This past week the challenge over at Stamp-n-Doodle was to do something unusual.  Meaning, anything other than a square card.  I did a frame.  I am also using the Caroling Trio image.

Thanks for looking a have a fantastic week!!  I am hoping for snow soon!

My edit

This is what I did.

First Picmonkey:

Got rid of the left tree using the cloning too.  Still new at that tool ;)

 

Then went to Photobucket:

Color splash, used the magic tool to bring out the flowers and the bride.  The background and the leaves are black and white.

 

Then went back to Picmonkey:

Added frost around the edges.

Framed with Museum Matte and Craft Scissors.
