Lots of challenges for Christmas cards this week. I'm all for getting my Christmas cards done early this year. Last year I got caught at the last minute with more cards to make than I had time for. This year I've found that I enjoy making Christmas cards regardless of the season and the challenges keep me motivated.
Here are the challenges...

I love the folksy look of this card. Lisa had used these colors for some of these challenges and I loved her card so much, I was inspired to use them too. I hope you don't mind Lisa. I think yours is prettier with that gorgeous ornament.

Bonnie, this is sensational! Love the use of Crumb Cake with the red. And that ribbon and bow is WOW! So pretty.

I love those rounded corners, the deep red mat, and all those little snowflakes, Bonnie!
Great card Bonnie - love the use of Kraft card and the diagonal rounded corners. Know what you mean about making one or two a week, it is so less painful than leaving it to the last minute! Thanks for joining us at ATS this week.

You are on the ball with Christmas cards! I was in Hobby Lobby the other day, and it has Christmas displays everywhere! I nearly hyperventilated.
Love your card! The rounded corners are a nice touch.
Sooooo pretty! LOVE the white snowflakes on the kraft paper! LOVE that bow, too! :)
Gorgeous job Bonnie, love your card, that ribbon brings it all together brilliantly, xxx
I also love those rounded corners! What a great look it gives your card. The colours are fantastic. Thanks so much for playing along at ATS xx
The red really pops against the kraft, and those snowflakes are ever so classy. It's amazing what a difference rounded corners make too, isn't it? I am determined to be organised for Christmas this year as last year was so manic (moving house didn't help!) but I'm quite enjoying making Christmas cards all year round too. Thanks so much for joining us again at Addicted to Stamps :)
Bonnie, this is fabulous. I do love that Cherry Cobbler for a Christmas card. I better stock up soon. Beautiully done with the rounded corner, snowflakes, and yummy seam binding.
Bonnie this is really pretty! So elegant! Love the bow! Thanks for playing along at RetroSketches!
A nice classy card - good to get them made early I find!!
Such a gorgeous card Bonnie, I love the elegant style of this and the beautiful crisp stamping against the card. The ribbon is such a pretty addition, just perfect for our challenge at Addicted to Stamps, thanks so much for sharing.
