Sometimes the crafting is put on hold, and that’s what happened this summer.  Besides moving (again), I learned to surf!!  What FUN (the surfing.. not the moving)!!

Now I’m getting back to crafting and starting on some Christmas card designs.  Here’s one that is playing along in today’s color challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.

The ornament image is from the new Stampin’ Up Holiday Mini Catalog.  I’ve colored it with Copics.

This card is also playing along in a new challenge on Tracy’s blog called the Monday Mood Board.  Just love the colors and the black and white and gray leafy images in the Monday Mood Board Challenge #2.

This second card uses a new (to me) stencil from Simon Says Stamp.

Gotta have a little glitter here and there!

So glad that I’m finally getting going on some Christmas cards.  Have a long way to go, but at least it’s a start.

Surfin’ granny hangin’ 10!

Happy Crafting!
