Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not one of those that jumps directly into Christmas mode and forgets about Thanksgiving. My house is Fall decorated right now. I am very thankful for my family and friends. We will get together and eat way too much in 3 weeks.
But, you do have to admit, it is very hard to ignore the calender! Have you done any Holiday shopping? I have my dear hubby 2 things. He's great at dropping hints and when I run across those things, I grab 'em! :)
Another reason I tend to gravitate toward Christmas sooner is that I don't send that many Fall cards, unless they're Fall Birthdays. Christmas is my biggest card giving holiday as I know it probably is yours. So, I'm sharing the cards I've been making these past few weeks. I like making all different designed cards to send. I know some of my friends like to make 1 card and mass produce for their card each year. What do you prefer?
This is a card I made for a CAS sketch last week over on SCS. The 3 pieces in the background are made with some scrap dsp and real red card stock. I ran the scallop border punch over the rr.
I love, love the Tree Trimming set from SU! I put a little pearl at the top of the ornament image. Mostly b/c there was too much space between the ornament and the stamp string! LOL :)
Thanks so much for visiting me today.
Until next time...
Blessings...

Very pretty card Melina. I like to make all different cards. Sometimes if it is very close to Christmas and I behind I do a couple of repetitions, but not many. I think this year with so many challenges that I am doing I'll be fine :).
Melina, I love Christmas, too. I guess you knew that. Tee Hee! And I love your Christmas card... so beautiful!!!

Great Christmas card! I've been making lots of Christmas cards these past few weeks. This year I decided not to make them all at the last minute.
Wow, I love the way you used those scraps and borders. Looks fabulous.
