Here are my cards so far for the February theme, Elf. I only have 2 elf stamps, so I cheated a bit with the second card, and used a Brownie. He was happy to help out!

Very Merry Elfmas
Brownie Elf

Thanks for looking!

No elves, but three cards I did for this weekend's VSN (Virtual Stamp Night) - be sure to check out the VSN challenges as lots of them can be adapted to Christmas cards.

This will probably be my last Elf themed card for this year...I've run out of images!
It's the same image as the last card, but I dedicate this one to the Elf on the Shelf.

Shelf Elf and Friend CCC26FEB

Thanks for looking!

This card is technically for the June Challenge "Enormous." I'm halfway through the year. My husband just had surgery on his heart and I have been very stressed. Card making helps me deal with the stress so I have a lot to post still, but I'm waiting until March to post the next batch.

Found two I forgot to post. I'm definitely done for the month now. Had to block off my craft desk to make room for an appliance delivery. It's killing me not to have my desk!

Peace Angel
OhNo! Hopefully, no one finds this too offensive, but I love him!
