Now for my 2nd card, It's a CHRISTMAS card!
Remember my last giveaway where I asked you guys to leave a comment with the perfect sentiment to add? I had so much fun reading all your suggestions, I decided to have another GiveAway just like it.  Before I tell you how you can win, let me tell you about this card first.

Project #335 of this year
A2 size card using Blue Recollections cardstock (5 1/2" x 4 1/4")
Green dotted paper and Rudolph paper from new Christmas stack my hubbub bought me from Michael's last weekend. It's the Recollections "Jolly & Bright" 12"x12" paper pad. Lots of glitter in this one too. :)
Santa (okay really a Gnome) is cut from the FRESHLY PICKED cart page 37 @ 3 1/2".


The sentiment mat is cut from ELEGANT EDGES "Doily" page 33 using the Oblong cut & Shadow feature.


I added black tiny rhinestones from Recollections for his eyes and an orange one for his little nose.
Heart button & jute from Michael's.
Now.... about that GIVEAWAY...
All you need to do is tell me what the PERFECT SENTIMENT for this Christmas card would be in a comment.  I'll draw a winner and post the winner's name on Sunday, Nov. 27th. The prize is a SECRET, but I promise, you'll LOVE it! Remember, all giveaway winners on my blog must contact me within 1 week of my announcement or your prize goes back in the pot to be used again at another time.

Ho-Ho-Ho :) Janis

  6. ok so using K Andrew stamps of course!! I would use the words "i'll" "be" from the owly hoo set, "gnome" you could make using Winter Wishes set (take the letters form other words in the set) and "for" and "Christams" from the Winter Wishes set as well to make "I'll be Gnome for Christmas" Love both cards very creative, can't wait to see what you put as the sentiment!!

  15. What a fun card! So cute... as always!

    How about "Counting down to Santa's big day" or "It's almost time for Santa's big day"? Then on the inside... "Rudolph is ready to guide Santa's sleigh" with a stamp / cutout of a sleigh.

    Happy Holidays!
