pssst... don't tell... I MAY HAVE opened up a birthday gift from Tom a little bit early!! But when Karen announced her Black & Red challenge at Color Hues? It just HAD TO BE DONE!! lol
As most of us do, I handed over the buy button on a list of things I wanted from Spellbinders to my husband - he didn't mind not having to shop, believe me! BUT at the top of my list was this die set which I totally chose because he loves polar bears so much. Okay enough chit chat... for Color Hues #98:
Jules - you inspired my nearly stamp-free design - of course I'm
blaming you for that early birthday present sneak!
Also, from my desk... these two carolers that were all colored up before the
Color Hues blog posted the new challenge this morning... great minds?
Isn't it funny that these are two of a trio and Marcia chose the third for her DT card?
I found three lines from three favorite Christmas carols in a PTI set -
perfectly in time, and in tune!
I'll be back tomorrow - happily guesting at the Penny Black on Saturday Challenge - hope to see you then! Thanks for all your kindness this week!

Of course it is perfectly normal to request or even buy your own birthday presents. Love that bear and penguin. You are definitely in cute mode these days xx
I used to do this for Rich, but it's been a while. Happy early birthday, Michele! I LOVE your early gift of these fabulously cute critters! Your card is beautifully put together. Oh, and I love that doily snowflake, too! Of course, the darling carolers are precious and sweet and fun. As Hilary mentioned, you're in cute mode, and I have to say it makes me very happy!
Tom does have the BEST taste in presents! So glad you enjoyed... oh my, look at that bear and that snowflake... and that cute penguin!!
Adorable--both cards! I broke my "no new products" for that polar bear and penguin, but they're still on my desk! Your design is fabulous--love the sign and the die cut snowflake. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing with us on Color Hues!
You really needed to open this set early, Michele! You made a perfect card for the challenge and for Tom! It's amazing how well the elfettes work in these colors too! Looks like fun at your house today.
And what a perfectly adorable polar bear this is! His little freind is a sweetie too. What a fun card, Michele. Those carolers look adorable all dolled up in their red and gray winter attire. Another cutie!
I'm loving the CUTE mode too Michele and this new set from Tom made the perfect card for our challenge...I can totally see why you had to open it early! That bear and penguin are ADORABLE and I'm loving that snowflake too! (In fact, can you cut one or two out for me to bring home next week? Pretty please with sugar on top??!!) And it must be serendipity (I love that word!) that made us think alike about the carolers...your card is sooooo SWEET!! Awesome post today my friend and thanks so much for sharing with us at Color Hues! Hugs. :0)
So very cute! You rocked out the colors 😊
There's nothing like an early birthday present and that polar bear and penguin just arrived in my mailbox today. (It was the penguin that I really wanted!) And there's those sweet carolers again--I'm loving the star filled sky and pops of red! I spy a winner here!
