More Christmas Cards!

Big surprise! More Christmas cards!

I've decided I'm just going to go through Create A Critter 2 booklet and just use all the Christmas image cut outs!! Takes some of the thinking out for me!

Here's what I came up with this time:

Christmas Owl was cut from Create a Critter 2 cartridge at 4"

Sentiment tag was cut from Art Philosophy at 1.1".

Frame was cut at 2.5" from the Art Philosophy cartridge.

I was thinking I wanted to use Elegant Edges but I was lazy, Art Philosophy was already out!

Card Base: Stampin Up Retired 2007 Cranberry Crisp (Yes, I still have some!) 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" (folded)
Card front: Recollections 'Naughty or Nice' 4" X 5 1/4" (I LOVE this paper pad!)
Other Cardstock / Paper: SU Chocolate Chip, Confetti White, more from 'Naughty or Nice' pad
Ink: Cranberry Crisp
Stamps: CTMH Holiday Wishes, Pink by Design 'Go Green'
Accessories: Cricut & Art Philosphy and Create A Critter 2 cartridges, Cuttlebug & Square Lattice embossing folder, SU Ribbon Originals Alpine, Modern label punch

Some Turkeys Survived!

I know this week's challenge is Christmas themed but I just had to share these cute little turkeys that I made for my kindergartener's class! These were their good behavior badges last week. Didn't they turn out adorable!  In fact I was told that these were cuter than the other class' badges! 

I used Cricut cartridge Create A Critter 2 and cut them out at 3.5".

 

 

Here's a close up.

 

 

My sweet son drew the buckle on the hat!

And helped to cut them out and put them together!

I love that we craft together!
