Joining in the fun with Taheerah are ONE HUNDRED special guests - each serving up some fantastic Christmas inspiration!

I created a fun time-laspe video for 3 different holiday cards that I'm entering into the Paper Smooches December challenge (read more about it and link up your creations HERE).
The challenge is to create a "winter-holiday-Hanukkah-New Year's" creation---- and there's an extra challenge for me! I challenged myself to create 15 projects; so far I have 10 done!!! Here's a closer look at my cards!
This card was inspired by a gift card with a dachshund dog with a scarf wrapped around his belly!
Toooo cute!
I share my baby powder technique with washi tape for the scarf in the video! This is one of my favorite techniques to use! ALSO--- I don't normally send out Christmas/Holiday cards... but this year I might send this card to a special friend:)
Trav really loves this card- esp the sparkly snow!

The whimsy in your card designs is fabulous! Each one is great and then there is that scarf. It seems to be magic for you. Wrapped around the dog, flapping loose around a cactus, blowing wild and free on a snowman doing tricks. It's your final flourish! Fabulous!
Thanks so much for the absolutely happy-making break from paying bills! All three are adorable; each one made me smile and ooooh and aahhhh, but I gotta say the googly eyes on the snowman totally took it way over the top! I laughed out loud, and I am still smiling. Thank you again. Merry Christmas.
