HCE05 ~ Christmas at our house

[splitcoaststampers]

I can only stamp ugly, so when making a card (ok, not that often) I like to use photos. Being the holidays, let's incorporate that too and do a holiday photo card.

1. any photo subject that represents Christmas or the holidays for you
2. taken preferably Christmas eve or Christmas day
3. I found this beautiful card by Kitty, use that as a design inspiration

Use keyword HCE05 when uploading your card


Snow is uncommon in the Pacific Northwest, even 2-3 inches is a big deal. I still love it like a little kid. And a white Christmas? Almost never. At our house we've gotten 1-2 FEET over the last week, and even today it's been steady all morning.

So here's my sample. And no I didn't do it, boo on me. Jenn helped me out :^)

great challenge! thanks Daven!

[TreasureOiler]

So fun Daven! Will work on it tomorrow after I get some new pictures taken. It's just us three for Christmas this year so I'll have plenty of time to stamp while everyone enjoys their new Christmas goodies....lol

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Enjoy all that snow...it sure is pretty!

Oh, Daven! You made my day. I just popped in to see what the new HCE challenge is and found you posted my card for inspiration layout. Thanks so much! I'll take pictures tonight of our Florida (no snow in sight) house decorations and see if I can get one good enough to use.

Daven - Thanks for today's challenge. We are nearly neighbors. I live in Troutdale, OR.

We have tons of snow too...but I chose an older picture for my challenge card today. You can see it here. TFL

Thanks for the challenge Daven. We don't have snow but lots of high winds and cold! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

You probably have a ton of snow in Vancouver by now. We had 10" today in Lynden. That's on top of what was already on the ground from last week!

I should have found time to read this last night! Then I'd have brought the camera with me this morning - not that the park looked all that Christmassy. Hmmmm...

[kittie747]

Here's mine. Couldn't get good pictures of our outdoor lights as I am a terrible photographer so I settled for the poinsettias growing in our backyard.

An Advent Card
This is as festive a photo as I can offer!!
Although I do have a close-up of the Christmas tree which actually was taken on Christmas day so maybe I'll be back.

[postcardgirl]

Here's my Circle Girls card -- I didn't get any "good" pics of my 15 year old so I'll have to take one and make a card featuring him too! :mrgreen:

Here are my two cards for this challenge. Christmas 2008 and DH Lookin' At me.
