Viva La Verve November 2013 Week 2

Hi folks,

I am definitely starting to panic about getting enough Christmas cards made for this year. So, since I STILL haven't packed away my gear from the crop I attended the first weekend of November, I grabbed the same papers I used for my Week 1 cards to make my Week 2 cards.

card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, kraft card stock base (and a slightly smaller mat for the front!)
• patterned papers: Kaiser Craft "Twig & Berry"
• stamps: Verve "Glad Tidings", "Ornamental Christmas" (twig is coloured with Copic G85)
• green satin ribbon and butcher twine from my stash
• Spellbinders Petite Circles, Verve "Pennant Die Trim"
• layout: Viva La Verve November 2013 Week 2

challenges for these cards:

• Christmas Card Challenges #50: this week is a sketch (which I didn't use - yet) but any Christmas card will do.
• Pile it On #45: Show us your tools (definitely my Cuttlebug - it was put to good use doing my die cuts AND my scissors and quilting ruler to get those fish tails cut for my other pieces of paper)
• Through the Craft Room Door (Nov 12-18): Anything Goes
• Sister Act Card Challenge #32: Anything Goes
• One Crazy Stamper November Christmas Challenge

As always, thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to check out the new challenge at Yumi & Fumi Handmade! This week (and next), the challenge is a theme of "So Thankful". Team Yumi shared their creations this past Sunday and Team Fumi will be sharing this coming Sunday. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone creates for this challenge - I like to think that you can never have too many thank you cards in your stash!
