Pretty papers - no ribbons of blue!

I loved the Merry Moments collection of papers from HoneyBee so much that I ordered a second pad - just so I had extra of a few of the scenic pages.  I've used them here along with their Lovely Layers: Trees and an old favorite set of dies from PTI that didn't make an appearance yet this year - shame on me!

No chit-chat this morning - I know you all have lots of holiday things to do!


Who wouldn't want to live in one of these pink houses?  Even the PTI deer can't resist a visit!
All of the sentiments are also from PTI: 'Tis the Season.



Another simple card using that Lovely Layers: Doves
Quick tip: when you can't find a white that matches your dsp, don't
forget to check out the 'backside' of some of those 12x12 papers we seldom use!



Layers of lovely IMHO - wonder who's been walking through this Winter Wonderland?
C&9th: Kristina's Finishing Touches dies


Happy Thursday my friends!

These are all just as pretty as they can be! The deer look like they were made for that marvelous paper on the first card. I like the dove flying above the tree tops and the tracks in the snow on your final card. Like I said, a whole lot of pretty!

Love these all! I really love those PTI deer, but your little tracks in the snow are SO clever! I'll have to remember that for next year's Christmas cards! TFS! They're all beautiful!

Geez, I've already added the doves to my wish list, and I said I wasn't going to buy anymore Christmas stamps or dies. Oh, well, I have time to think about it. You're such an enabler, but that's because you make such wonderful cards and I'm lucky to be able to enjoy them. It's good to see the deer again. The third card tugs at my heartstrings, seeing those little footprints in the snow.

Your have really made those scenic papers come to life with your extras like the deer, lovely dove and those snowy looking trees. Fabulous cards Michele. TFS

Great combination of dies and that gorgeous patterned paper! I can see why you bought an extra pad! And it's about time you brought out those PTI deer. I'm still trying to line up the stamp to their skinny legs! Oy!

Your trio of cards are all FABULOUS Michele, and I would love to live in one of the pink houses on your first card (you can live in the other one and then we'll be neighbors!!) with the deer roaming around in the front yard! Your dove card is magical and I'm so glad you found the white to match (also glad I'm not the only one who's a little anal about their whites matching! Haha!!). Your 3rd card is just as lovely with all the trees and the dsp trees behind them! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL cards today my friend!! Hugs. :0)

Oh my, Michele! Such beauty! You are an amazing card maker. So lovely and magical!

Bonnie said...

WOW! Three beauties here, Michele! I wish I could look at those papers and see what you see! My favorite deer look so happy with those pink houses! The dove looks like he's flying off the card and the snowy trees look so peaceful!
