Hi, it is Shirley AKA Wannabcre8tive posting today. I am the F4A challenge hostess this week. Since today starts the shopping season for Christmas with all the black Friday sales, Shelly and I decided to challenge you to make a Christmas card with a critter on it. You get extra points if you add some humor to your cards.

Thanks for the fun challenge Shirley - I inherited this stamp several months ago and almost tossed it out because I thought it was too weird! Now I'm glad I saved it cause it was the perfect critter for today!!! Hope you enjoy my card:

Had fun getting out my stamps- using a bold scribble tree image- and this cute cate with a gift. Added some faux stitching and a handwritten sentiment. Here's Cat Present

As I wake up from yesterday's food coma, I plan to spend the day working on cards at my table. I love this challenge as I have collected a few cute Christmas critter stamps through the years. Hope to be back later with a couple of things that I can send to my nieces and nephews for Christmas. Thanks.
Had fun using a little critter die and a tag punch for my gift tag- adding some sparkle with a red metallic brad and gold dp. Added a sentiment, and a three color bow. Here's Hedgehug tag

Finally getting around to getting one of my critter cards upload for the challenge. I have had SO much fun with this challenge! Four cards have been made for it, though I doubt I will get them all entered.
Not often does a challenge spark my creativity like this one did. SO. MUCH. FUN!
I wish I had known about this challenge a week ago. I posted a card that would have fit this category perfectly, and I think it will end up being my favorite this year.
thanks!
