Chistmas In April

Good Morning Everyone...Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by...I hope you enjoy your visit as much as I enjoy sharing my latest creations with you. If I have inspired you in any way, I hope you will take a moment leave me a comment and consider signing up to be a follower. I had gotten some new stamps from Heartfelt Creations that I couldn't wait to put to use. Since my Easter cards are done and I don't have anything else going until Mother's Day, I thought I would start with my all time favorite for Christmas...the red bird cardinal. The sentiment is a Stampin' Up digital. Here's what I came up with-- I love white on white and thought the cardinal would really pop. The sentiment is computer generated---
This didn't photograph well, it really looks better in real life. The background scene is from Clear Dollar and the sentiment is computer generated---
That's it for now...If you have a question on the recipe or supplies that I have used in my posting, please feel free to email me. Thanks for stopping by...see you next time. Have a great week!

    Kelly, Great work. These cards are georgeous. The cardinal just pops off these cards. Love what you did with these. These were worth getting up early and looking at. I am going to email you and see if you have one of your older cards after this. Great seeing cards by you again!!!!

    Your cards are fabulous. I used that cardinal on a lot of my Christmas cards last year. After seeing your great inspiring cards, I may use him again for this year's cards.

    Each is beautiful in their own special ways. The first has your signature all over it, the second and third were made by the adventurous Kelly, perfect in every way. Gorgeous cards, thanks for sharing!
