Country Christmas Tree

Hey Angie
The glossy star is pretty but I think I like the 'stitch' look better. More cohesive with the rest of the tree. JMO Congrats on completing your April challenge!

Hope this is okay!

Great cards, Kathy.

Where did the month go? Made my cards 15 rather than 12 so I am quite chuffed but forgot to post in here
My first set of 6 and an odd one are here
I also have two more sets each of 4 here and here
Thank you so much for looking and to all those who have already left lovely comments.

You're welcome, Bonnie - glad you looked into the Christmas Card Challenge. I'm in my third year of doing it and come December, I'm so pleased I did!

Was able to make 7 more of this month's cards. And, since I miscounted when doing the focal image, I made a square card variation as well. Tried to take group shot tonight, but the lighting just would not cooperate. Will try to get one tomorrow to post.

So nice to be caught up again with the challenge.

[Chinook]

I've been absent from the galleries the past couple of months. Life has just been hectic, as it is for so many people. However, I managed to get my 5 Christmas cards done for this month by using a Christmas Card kit and keeping them CAS.
Cards 1 - 3 are here: Chinook's May Christmas Cards, #1 -3 by Chinook - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
Card 4 is here: Chinook's May Christmas Cards, #4 by Chinook - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
and Card 5 is here: Chinook's May Christmas Cards, #5 by Chinook - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Here's my final card for the month! Just barely getting it in on time!!

Here I am, working on the last day again! I love Bells & Boughs! What a great vintage set! I used the neglected Bravo Burgundy as a second challenge. The thumbnail shows my 4 cards for the month. The link below shows the card close-up.

Bells & Boughs...for about the third time!
