12 cards of Christmas Day 5 - Christmas Selfies

Happy Wednesday.

I have a few variations on the same layout - with the same set - for you tonight.  Christmas Selfies from My Favorite Things is such a fun set.  It was perfect to make multiples of for both SendASmile4Kids - and also for seniors to send out to their grandkids.  So, I stamped up the images, did some very simple coloring, and add lots of glimmer and shine - but not with real glitter.  One set of requests asked for holiday/winter themed cards but no Merry Christmas.  On the other hand, another request was to HAVE Merry Christmas!  So, I made multiples of both. 

It was a great excuse to pull out some of the DSP that I don't use very often.  So, I paired the non-Merry Christmas ones with DSP.  Here are a couple of examples:

This DSP from last year reminds me of striped pajamas my Dad used to wear!  My next card uses some In Color DSP:

Bumble Bee really is one of my favorite yellows.  I love the depth of the color. 

My next examples feature one of my favorite Dies from the Loyal Leaves dies.  I added it to the bottom and top and love the detail it adds to a plain card base.

I'll be back on Friday with Day 6 of 12 cards of Christmas - this time with variations on a theme with the Stampin' Up! Wishes and Wonder.  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight - and I wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Regardless of how strange this year has been, I am always reminded of how much I have to be thankful for.  Talking about thanks... Friday is not only Day 6 of 12 cards of Christmas - but there's also a chance to win blog candy!

Hugs

Jaydee
