Another congrats to you, Connie Jo, for being selected QFTD!!
Since I made a humorous, yet hideous, first card, I'm willing to do a remake of a real Christmas card which I will send to you for the holildays. I think you'll find it showcases your card a tad bit better than the last one!!
This time I did a real Christmas card. I used the same basic layout, but used an image called Isabel With Friend Snowman made by Whimsical Rubber Stamps. I won it from the Midnight Madness team.
I cut it out, colored it, used glitter on the snowman, Isabel's scraf, pocket and the bottom of her coat as well as the on the snowman. I popped them up on dimensionals on top of polar white flowersoft for a feel of snow. I used the Label 10 nesties and swiss dots ef, along with the MS snowflake border punch.
I had these cute little reindeer in my stash and a poinsetta that I added little bells to in the center - that was not fun!! LOL!! I added a snowflake with silver pearl and some silver pearls on the left hand side. I placed my sentiment on dimensionals. And, that's about it.
ENJOY your special day and week Connie Jo. You certainly deserve it!!

Oh my, another card and it is really going to be mine!!! Be still my heart. I simply Love Fruitcake originals. You would be very surprised how many times I go through my treasure box getting full from cards from my SCS family. They seem to make me feel better whenever I am down. They make me feel loved.
Thank you so much for participating in my fun time as queen!!! I truly appreciate it.
hugs,

SOOO glad you did not have to run away after that last card!! This is such a cute stamp, and all the extras - especially the CE and Dazz Diamonds - really take this card to the next level of EXTRA SPECIAL, of course when you also did all that punching too.....and (sigh) the nesties!! Love the reindeer and the pearl accents. Terrific card to honor Connie for her reign!!

Oh Pamzi! My dear Fruitflake friend is still safe! Are you sure that it's really safe to be coming out of hiding so soon?!?!? And with another Christmas card! That will surely be enough to turn the tide against you if your last card wasn't enough! But, as CJ9's dear sister Mutnik would say...details....
On to the card... You've found your focus again (as AJ would say) and this is more like what I have come to expect from you. Love the frolicking reindeer - have they been in the sauce? Just wondered - they have those silly little grins and red noses. Lotz of punchez were used - that's a good thing... Your layout looks like you took much more time considering where each little item should go. Yes, this is a Fruitflakezi card. Good on you my Punch Pal. Do watch your back. You never know when Annie's "people" may appear. Hugz. And RYPH.

So cute, Pam! I just adore the little reindeer in the corners- they bring a big smile to my face. The card is really nice- pretty panel for showcasing your main images. Great flower too!

Ah ha, I see you finally yourself settled in and focused. Whew, I'm just now recovering from the last christmas card you upload today. Now this makes 2. On the edge I am. You know your christmas cards just make me crazy. Not only that, but it's only June, fruitcake. What's up with all these christmas cards. Your case is so complimentary to our friend, russian satellite spy. For that, I'm proud of you.
See what you can do - it's truly amazing when you stay focused. what part of that statement do you not understand?
So does this mean you've startedyour christmas cards already?
