Morning readers,
Welcome to another week and one which will see out November and usher in December! YIKES ... I hope you are all nearly ready for it to actually BE December! Christmas will be here before you know it! I've made all my Christmas cards (I'm pleased to say) but I just don't seem to be able to stop myself making them! I recently acquired this fab set from Paper Artsy and, so far, had only used one image so .... it was a no brainer, had to ink another one!

What a great CAS card, Kathy. I love how the sentiment is incorporated in the image. I'm not sure where this year has gone, I think it's time I started Christmas shopping! xx
I love the bright colours you used for your quirky Christmas trees Kathyk. It really adds to the sense of fun and celebration. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
It's hard to beat JOFY images isn't it . . .they always look great . . . and this one is no exception. LOVE this Xmas card. So lovely and CAS.

These stylised trees are really pretty Kathy love the little bit of glittery snow beneath them too. I'm afraid you are well ahead of me with Christmas preparations. I have had so much else going on that I will be doing things last minute as per usual..lol. x
Great card, the stylised trees lend themselves to a CAS design. Nice idea to turn the sentiment into the tree trunk. Thanks for stopping by my blog and taking time to leave a kind comment x
Love the colors on your trees! Thank you so much for entering our ATG challenge at Crafter's Castle this week. We hope to see you next time too!
Blessings, Jeanie

I love how colourful this is and being one-layer , the great stamps really take centre stage.
Super trees and a really great CAS card, love the way the message is placed.

Whimsical and adorable Christmas trees, Kathy. Creative to use the sentiment as trunks. Fun and festive cad. Thank you for joining us at LIM. xx
This is a fantastic one layer card, Kathy! Your trees are so fun and whimsical! I love the sentiment “trunks” and how you’ve coloured them to be so individual. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.
very cool stamp and card design, even if it's the dreaded one layer week ;-) you did well
Those trees are just gorgeous! I love their sentiment stems and the colours you've given them. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week!
Great placement of those trees Kathy and the tree trunks are just divine! What a great way to add a sentiment. I'm like you - Christmas cards all completed yet I still can't stop making them. I will take a leaf out of your book for 2019 and completely finish each card I make both inside and out and store with an envelope in future (I spent hours just finishing off part completed cards this year). Anyway, thank so much for sharing this card with us at Less is More xx
