Holiday Wreath

 This is the Month of October Christmas cards. I decided to look through my coloring calendar images to see if I had any Winter Greenery ones that I could color up, that is the challenge for this month in my stamp group. I found 3 I liked, so I got down to coloring them up.


  • Coloring for calm calendar - image colored w/markers
  • Paper Studio - Have a cozy Christmas paper


  • Coloring for calm calendar - image colored w/markers
  • My Mind's eye - O Christmas tree paper
  • Recollections - Christmas sticker sentiment

  • Coloring for calm calendar - image colored w/markers
  • Martha Stewart - Border punch
  • Paper Studio - Have a cozy Christmas paper
  • Recollections - Christmas stickers 
After coloring all of them and fussy cutting them out and making the cards it took longer than I thought it would so I went to my Graphic Fairy images I have downloaded from their site and found a few I thought would work nicely for the challenge.


  • Graphic Fairy digital image
  • Bo Bunny - Father Christmas paper
  • Lawn Fawn - Fancy Scalloped Rectangle die
  • Tim Holtz - Fancy Festive dies (Branch and pinecone)

  • Graphic Fairy - Digital image
  • Bo Bunny - Father Christmas paper
  • Spellbinders - Curved Rectangle die
  • 49 and Market - Christmas Spectacular Acetate Foliage
For my last card my cardmaking groups challenge was using a Santa on your card, I had recently downloaded this free digital from Paper wishes site, so I thought I should use it :)


  • Paper wishes - Digital image
  • Bo Bunny - Father Christmas paper
  • Spellbinders - Captivating Square die
  • Starform - Sentiment sticker
  • Sequins
All caught up for another month :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

Hello Connie! I've missed your beautiful creations and I'm playing catch up after being away. I LOVE all of these cards so much! I especially love the vintage feel in them. The holiday time is going to be here before we know it! They were already using the "s" word and said we may have some snow mixed with rain this week!
