Two lovely CAS Christmas cards here Kathy.
Love the die cut Washi tape trees on your Snippets Playground entry. Great way to use some Washi tape. Thanks for submitting some homework. See you on the swings xxx
FABULOUS card designs Kathy! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Simply Clean & Simple & Peace on Earth challenges! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

All 3 are fabulous designs! I love your washi tape ones the best, it's such a great technique. All are a great job for our CAS on Friday challenge, we love seeing you work there! Hugs!
A great idea to use washi tape on your trees on the first two cards and some pretty embossing and the concave mats look great Kathy, and then the prettily decorated tree on the last, and I love the dark green mat you added which goes beautifully. I am sad to see LIM go on an indefinite break too. I have been making more CAS cards recently and I always love to go and look even if I don't enter every time. x
wow you've been busy again, great cards, well done!
Wonderful cards Kathy! Thanks for playing and commenting on cards in the LIM gallery! Happy Holidays!
Clean and simple for the win - these are adorable! Thanks for sharing with us at MTTC :)
What a fabulous selection of cards Kathy! Clever use of the washi tape and I absolutely couldn't pick a favourite from all of them in your post. Clever girl!
Hugs
