Great patterned papers to go with your cute and beautifully coloured Santa Kathy, and the pretty PB leaves work brilliantly on the second, and I love the way you bave tucked the sentiment amongst the leaves. x

Beautiful monochromatic card, Kathy. The turquoise shade is one of my all time favorite colors. The the stamped image and bit of sparkle. Thanks for sharing at the Double D, "Monochromatic" Challenge.

What a fabulous CAS design, Kathy! That stamp is so beautiful and the sparkle you added is so effective. Love that you took the trouble to make the inside and the envelope special too.
Thanks for sharing with us at ATSM and I hope you will join us again soon.
Hope you are well.
