Last minute Christmas cards and Decontructed Sketch No. 80

Some cardmakers are just so organized. When December 1st rolls around they already have all their cards made. Alas . . . I'm not one of them. And since I'm not, I'm trying to rush a bit so that I can get my cards in the mail for their big trip across the pond, hoping they arrive in time for Christmas.

The images and papers I've used were a gift with the December issue 48 of Creative Cardmaking, one of my favorite magazines. I thought they were so cute and I liked their bright colors. Now enter this week's Deconstructed Sketch No. 80. When I saw it I thought it would be a perfect match for these images and it turns out I was right! I did assembly line card making and made three.

There's the Snowman.

And the little Tweety bird.

And my favorite—Mr. Polar Bear.

That's three down! I'm getting there.
