Even more Christmas critters!

With plenty more of that darling Merry paper from Scrapbook.com in hand, I went in search of other Christmas critters from my stash - these Winter Hamsters from Waffle Flower Crafts fit the bill and are always loads of fun.  I do love a set whose dies cut multiple images at once, don't you?  Such a time saver especially for Christmas cards!


With easy stamping, cutting, and coloring out of the way I
brought together some very simple designs that pack plenty of cute!



I brought out the Diamond Stickles for a little Christmas glisten...


Then it was time to bring the 'gang' together for a group hug...



I wasn't going to let one little scrap of that paper go to waste - time
to build some stripe-y Christmas trees that were then simply cut
into 'triangle trees' with my paper trimmer.

You have all been so patient and kind during my Christmas in July!  There are plenty more cards to be made - and if I keep up this 4-per-daily-session, I MIGHT just make that pre-set goal!

I have another new pad of paper from Scrapbook.com to come ... here's a sneak peek!


I'm spending my last day of July with Marcia - and yes, I'll be sharing this paper with her!  and a few of those fun Snow dudes!  I can't wait!

These little dudes just ooze joy, Michele! The group hug might just be my favorite. But then again, those stripey trees are nifty! Have heaps of fun with Marcia. Can't wait to see what you girls whip up!

I'm always so happy - and, yes, jelly - when you and Marcia have a play together, M! And Hammy and Stanley are so becited that you featured them in your first three delightful cards! And when the group got together to hug and sing, they could not be any cuter! You are so wonderfully productive when you create! Have fun and tell Marcia hi! Hugs, D

Love your sweet little Christmas critters and the sweet cards you made, especially the striped Christmas trees - in pink too. I know you will have a fun day with Marcia - a great way to spend the last day of July with crafty friends.

Your little snow dudes are quite cute, but I admit that I like those trees too! Who would think to make trees in those colors but they work so well!

I agree love me a multi cut too, especially when they are small like these. Great idea to use the left over cardvfor the trees!

Adorable cards, Michele. I love how you get full use out of the pattern paper. And I can't wait to see more from the upcoming paper pad. It looks beautiful. Happy crafting with your friend!
