DS4J and ITDK Christmas Cards

Hi, everybody - I'm still on a crafting/blogging break this month; however, as promised, I'm back with my other two progressive challenge cards - I didn't want to miss out on getting next month's images for free!  We still haven't moved but we're getting closer!  Scroll down for my Card #2 using Digi Stamps 4 Joy image.  

 Card #1 - Imagine That... digis by Kris 

 This month's image is Meowy Mousemas - you all know how I love kitties so I couldn't resist!  I used the pre-coloured image this month and kept my card fairly CAS so I could showcase the adorable image.  The sentiment is also from this set - why not head over and check out the progressive challenge for yourself - there's still plenty of time to enter.


 Here are the other items used:
  • Embossing folder:  Darice Snowflakes
  • Die:  Nellie's Multiframe Ovals
  • Ribbon:  Lace (May Arts), Ribbon (Offray)
  • Gems:  Dollarama

Card #2 - Digi Stamps 4 Joy Monthly Christmas Challenge

This month's DS4J image is called Irresistable Bling and features 3 kitties!  So purrfect for me because Brian and I will have 3 kitties as soon as we move into our new home together.  I coloured the image with my Prismacolor pencils and tried to keep this one CAS as well.  If you want this adorable image for yourself, why not head over and check out the progressive challenge - there's still plenty of time to enter.
