"4 Months til Christmas" Blog Hop

Good morning and Happy Saturday.  I hope you all have amazing plans for this weekend no matter where you are.  It is exactly 4 months today until Christmas and like every month since February it is the day we showcase 2 Christmas cards on our short blog hop.  Premise of our hop ~ so that none of us will be rushed to get our cards made during the busy months, a group of very talented ladies headed by my best friend, Shari, make 2 Christmas cards (one using a coloured medium and one using some kind of die cut) and have a short blog hop on the 25th of each month.  Cool, huh?  I know I am already feeling like I have a great head start on Christmas cards and will be able to enjoy crafting in November/December if I get time. 

So, if you are arriving from Tara P's blog you are in the correct spot.  If not, you will want to go to my friend Kerry's blog to start at the beginning of our hop.  Two of our regular ladies needed to take this month off and we have a wonderful guest designer joining us.  Welcome to Lora, owner of One Crazy Stamper, who is joining us today.  I will have the order of all 8 of us on this hop at the end of the post in case you happen to get lost along the way.  Alright, enough chatting.....here are my cards:
