This is the halfway mark for this year's Christmas Challenge for Fan Club members, and I hope you'll join us for June's Dirty Dozen Christmas Challenge.
I've used another never-been-used stamp and colored this funny ole owl. Strangely, I actually thought it was a penguin. Ha! I have a dear friend who absolutely is crazy about penguins, so perhaps that's why I thought it was a penguin (and bought it five years ago). I found some sweet DP to use that was my color palette and colored it - and then was not very creative with the layout. But I did get creative with the sentiment and found a cute font. It works, right? So as the deadline approached, I finally ended up framing it with the DP and matting it in white. I adhered it to some textured Bazzill cardstock that always seems to add some character. This will go to a friend of ours who will get a kick out of it. He thinks he is pretty wise (and has a great sense of humor)!
I hope you get inspired to join us as we make our 2018 Christmas cards throughout the year! Stacy (Twinshappy) has shared some great challenges so far this year, and I hope you'll join in! More cards are appearing each month, and we are all working hard to make more Christmas cards this year! Yay!
I am also entering this for Robin's Free For All challenge today, "Baby, It's Cold Outside." This is for a "cold" winter's night at Christmas time with this Christmas Owl excited about his tree!
Thanks for taking a closer look at my card! Wishing you all a wonderful week and a happy June! Hugs, all!

Cheryl, I think this is lovely! I like your layout as it's clean and simple. I think it really allows the eye to focus on your cute little owl that you have colored so expertly!

Cheryl, this little owl is just too cute...love your beautiful coloring and shading and his grin "eye-to-eye!" He seems quite pleased with his little tree! That triple matting is just perfect, especially that lovely diagonal plaid dsp that coordinates so well with his color shades!
