Merry & Bright
Woo hoo, my third Christmas card! If it wasn't for the Christmas challenge blogs I wouldn't be up to number 3!
This adorable robin digi is from Just Some Lines. I didn't want to use the typical robin colors so I opted for "merry & bright", jeez I crack myself up (pathetic, I know). I used glossy accents to her beak and used some stickles to outline the hat. The sentiment is by Stamping Bella.

For this card I dug out my Happy Hauntings cartridge, popped it into my Cricut and away I went.
I figure he's a chain rattler from way back so I thought he'd feel at home if I added a link or two to the card. I used my i-rock from Imagineisce to add some black rhinestones, glossy accents to his chains and stuck a bat a memo pin by Tim Holtz and of course, had to add something else green to go with the lettering ... hence the bow. The orange paper is from Ravenhead Manor by Recollections and the rest are scraps from my stash.

Special Delivery
This "Special Delivery" image is from Digi Doodle Shop, and I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it.
I love it for it's simplicity so I decided it needed a simple but effective background. I chose my fave color PINK and dressed it up with grey and black. I added glossy accents to the cupcake and colored the candle flame with my spica glitter pen. I couldn't find any chipboard numbers in my stash collection so I took some Tim Holtz grunge paper and cut out the number 4. I colored it with my cat eye stamp pad and added some glitter.
I apologize for the poor camera quality - we are fighting at the moment and I think the camera is winning.
I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
Cupcake Craft Challenge "How Old?"
Craft Your Passions "Anything Goes"

Sorry for the poor quality of pic, I'm having some issues with my camera, grrr. I used my spica glitter pens to add a bit of bling to the outside waves and flowers on his shorts. I also used glossy accents on the inside waves for a bit of dimension. The papers are from Little Yellow Bicycle, Boardwalk collection.
