Last year, I was frantic making my 70 Christmas cards. I am usually one who has them mailed the day after Thanksgiving. That didn't happen. In fact I think my cards went out about 10 days before the holiday. Being so anxious, my mojo was also lacking. This year I am determined to have the majority of my cards done by October. ( I am going to be in Europe the entire month of October so I'll be losing a lot of crafting time) Perusing Melissa Philips' blog I came across a challenge called Festive Friday.
Every two weeks a new Christmas challenge is posted. The current one is to create a project incorporating a snowflake into the design. Here is my card. (Sorry for the poor lighting. Too much rain today)
Here's a close up of the tree using the Layered Postmarks die in the Fabulous Frame with a felt snowflake from Snowflake Medley.
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

Carol that is really pretty, I love the snowflake.
Such a pretty card. I like how you used the polaroid die turned sideways. And, I'm totally jealous that you will be in Europe for all of October.
I think this is a great idea ,Carol! You know with the 12 kits it was so nice to have so many made already made. Your Christmas card is beautiful , llove the snowflake, keep it up and you will be glad.
So, so pretty! I'm working on 3 Christmas cards/mo so I'm not scrambling to get them mailed in time. If you want a Monday challenge check out Merry Monday http://alwaysplayingwithpaper.blogspot.ca/2013/03/merry-monday-53-christmas-card-sketch.html
