I find it hard to believe that in 4 short months, it will be Christmas !! I can honestly say that I will be glad when August is behind us .. I managed to spend my whole 2 weeks of vacation mostly on the phone dealing with car and home insurance issues / repair work . And neither is resolved yet !! Being crafty did take my mind off of it at times but I still was not in much of a creative mood. Which is why I procrastinated on this blog post until the last minute . So I will be posting just the stamps I used, without a full description with details . I'm sure that by Sept. 25, I will be back to a normally hectic life !!
We have another special Guest Elf this month . Misty Lavigne - aka The Jolly Fat Elf - is a fantastic card-maker with her own FB page and You Tube channel . You can see her projects and get all of her info at the link at the end of this post
My first card is made with an older stamp set from Ink Blot Shop - Seasoning's Greetings . It's no longer available but they have many other wonderful stamp sets for you to choose from !!
Unity Stamp Company's Joy To Go has always been a favorite of mine !! Fun to color and so easy to bling it up a bit with some Wink of Stella or glitter .
The Holiday Cat Stamp from Paper Source reminded me so much of our rescue kitty Pixie that I just had to use it this month !!
And last - but certainly not least, - is my card with the sweet Anita Jeram Anniversary Mini . This mouse couple was a good pick for wishing someone a Marry Christmas AND a Happy New Year !!

Thank you to Misty for joining us this month . We hope that you are inspired by all of our creativity and start on your on holiday cards !! You will be so much less stressed when you have a nice stash of cards ready to send .. And even if you start in September, you will have at least 12 cards to send to friends..
Until next time, stay crafty and above all, stay safe !!
