Pines & Poinsettias

This card is a variation from our Up-Upline, Penny Thomas.  I couldn't wait to use this stamp from the Pines & Poinsettias stamp set.  I love using markers to color a stamp.  This card has such a delicate and elegant look, I was afraid to touch it.  Thought it might break. 

This is is the last card from our Christmas Card Workshop.  I haven't chosen a favorite.  I really, really love them all.  Do you have a favorite?

Three Ol’ Broads

How cute is this threesome. I could name these gals—me being the middle of course. What a fun card.   Glad I don’t have to wear those shoes.

Of course, another card from Saturday's stamp camp.

I cased this card so fast, I didn’t even keep the website but I have seen several variations on the Connection.
