DAY 5 - LAST DAY OF BLOG HOP

I AM SORRY I WAS LATE POSTING MY CARD YESTERDAY.  I MADE A MISTAKE AND SCHEDULED IT TO POST AT 4 PM INSTEAD OF 4 AM.  IF YOU DID NOT SEE YESTERDAYS POST, PLEASE GO DOWN AFTER THIS POST TO SEE IT AND DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS FOR THE BLOG CANDY.  I AM SORRY...

WELL, ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END...I AM SAD FOR THIS FUN BLOG HOP TO COME TO AN END.  I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT AS MUCH AS WE DID.  SO MANY FUN IDEAS!!

TODAY I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE WITH YOU WHAT I RECEIVED DURING MY CHRISTMAS CARD SWAP WITH MY DOWNLINE, JODY V. AND FRIENDS.  THESE CARDS RANGE FROM AMAZING TO "CUTE AND SIMPLE" AND I LOVE THEM ALL!!

 I LIKE THE SIMPLE BEAUTY OF THIS ONE.  JUST A FEW PIECES OF DESIGNER PAPER AND A PUNCHED SNOWFLAKE AND VOILA - A BEAUTIFUL CARD.  THE SENTIMENT SAYS IT ALL!!

THE BUTTON AND THE EDGE PUNCHED PAPER REALLY CARRY THIS CARD A LONG WAY.  AND THE EMBOSSING FOLDER ON THE VANILLA MAKE IT WONDERFUL ALSO.  LOVE IT.

 THIS SIMPLY ELEGANT CARD IS BY JOEBY.  IT DOESN'T NEED ANOTHER THING BECAUSE IT SPEAKS VOLUMES IN IT'S ELEGANCE, DOESN'T IT?  GREAT JOB!! I CAN HEAR LINUS FROM THE PEANUTS GANG SPEAKING THE WORDS: "AND LO, THERE WERE SHEPHERDS WATCHING THEIR FLOCKS BY NIGHT..." FROM IT'S A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS.

JOEBY ALSO DID THIS ORNAMENT CARD.  THE FRAMELIT IS PERFECT WITH THE ORNAMENT HANGING IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.  THE EXTRA LAYER AND THE PEARL ADD SOME REAL PRETTINESS. LOVE THE COLORS TOO.

OH, THIS ONE DOESN'T SHOW UP AS CUTE AS IT IS.  ONE OF MY FAVORITES.  THE SNOW GLOBE HAS A WINDOW SHEET ON THE FRONT SO IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE A SNOW GLOBE.  THIS WAS DONE BY JODY'S MOM AND SHE DID A REMARKABLE JOB.  SAD THE PHOTO DOESN'T DO IT JUSTICE. SNOW GLOBES AND SNOWFLAKES...PERFECT!

SO ELEGANT, ISN'T IT?  FIRST I LOVE THE BIGZ CLEAR OVAL ACCENT DIE CUT IN WHISPER WHITE.  THEN I AM CRAZY ABOUT HOW THE ORNAMENT LOOKS WITH THE STRIPED DESIGNER PAPER AND THE GREEN RIBBON.  HARD TO SEE, BUT THERE ARE SOME RHINESTONES ON THE ORNAMENT AND DOTTING THE "I" ON CHRISTMAS...  ADORABLE.

 FUN FUN FUN IS WHAT I WOULD USE TO DESCRIBE THIS CARD.  THE SNOWFLAKE PAPER IS FUN, THE MERRY CHRISTMAS BANNER IS ALSO FUN AND THEN THE CUTE TREES FROM THE NEW SET IN THE MINI CATALOG CALLED SCENTSATIONAL SEASON. THE CANDY CANE STRIPED PAPER GIVES IT THE WHIMSICAL FEEL.

OK, I SAVED MY VERY FAVORITE FOR LAST.  JODY AND JILL MADE THIS ONE TOGETHER AND IT IS A HOOT!! (GET THE PUN?) SANTA OWL IS THE MOST ADORABLE THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!  LOOK AT THIS FAT BELLY WITH HIS BLACK BELT AND THE CUTE BELT BUCKLE.  WHAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL THESE GALS DID.  THEY EVEN PUT SOME BLING ON THE BUCKLE (EVERYONE IN TEXAS WEARS BLING ON THEIR BUCKLES, IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW!!)  HIS EYES SAY IT ALL AND MAKE ME LAUGH.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS ONE GALS!!  GREAT JOB ON ALL THE CARDS!!
