Christmas in April

It's the second Wednesday of the month, so that's means there's a new challenge at Christmas at Sweet Stampin'!  And remember, this year we are ANYTHING GOES WITH CHRISTMAS each and every monthly challenge. I used this very cute stamp by Bildmalarna for my card. I'm not much of a project maker but I do love making cards and I love making square cards. For one thing, I love 6x6 paper pads so square cards just make sense to me!




I colored her with Copics,and here's a close-up of this adorable image! I've notice that lots of the stamps I love are now gone and the companies have closed. What a sad day it was when this store closed down!



And here's my pretty red polka-dot grossgrain bow with a button glued in the middle which I made using my bow tool.




The team at Christmas at Sweet Stampin' has created some fabulous cards to inspire you to join us and by doing so, you'll be one more card ahead for Christmas which is only 256 days away. (Yes, I calculated that with a calendar.)  Hope you'll join us this month!


                                                                                       Thanks for stopping by!
