Make It Monday Clear / 52 Christmas Card Throwdown

I have two cards in this post one for MIM and one
 that will be at the end of the post. 



 I always had in my mind that I would use these two stamps together. I thought it said trip around the word not sun. Oh well , I still think they work well together. This is the very first time I have ever used this stamp from Rosie Poise …Yes, Kate it was because of your beautiful card set... that I even thought to use it. If you have not seen some of Kate’s cards you need to stop by .

Stylish Sentiments: Birthday Stamp Set
World Map Stamp Set
Rosie Posie Stamp 


First time doing this challenge



I saw this challenge on Deborah’s blog and thought it might be fun. The theme is animals but no birds. This stamp has a beautiful dove in the center but I blocked it out , so I just kept the lamb. 
I like it when I have a Christmas card ready and easy to mail. 
I will be posting my Waltzingmouse Blog Hope card today, soon.
Hope you enjoy your Sunday!

 See the beautiful dove , but no  birds this time.

  4. Fabulous clear card--love the map paper for your background! I've never done one of those so should probably at least try. Your nativity scene card is so sweet--love the sparkly touches!

  6. Those images in the first card really look like they were made for each other. Great idea, and I am going to try this sometime, too. And, your next card--what a great Christmas card--and this year you will have to pace yourself, because we won't have a huge stack by December. I agree with you about Kate's blog--chock full of inspiration all the time.

  11. Marybeth! You're so sweet. Thanks for the shout-out to my blog. I've had trouble deciding what to do with the map stamp, but you've solved that problem for me as I have the sentiment too. Can hardly wait to try it. Your Christmas card is breathtaking and must be so sparkly IRL. The tinsel and glitter are applied so precisely-the perfect accents!

  14. Love the image on your Christmas card, and when I looked closer and saw the 'straw' I loved it even more. The sentiment is perfectly placed and worded. The little lamb makes this prefect for our theme challenge, thank you for playing along with 52 CCT

  19. Indeed, those two stamps go so well together, great pairing! Love how you have the sentiment backed on a yellow circle, just like the sun! Really sweet Christmas card too. I've never seen a good use for those long glitter pieces until now. Perfect hay accent!!!
