LOLOL!!!." What a sense of humor you and your family have, Lynda! Thank your for creating your wonderful card too! :-)
Next, with another beautiful card, is Tracey Kuzniak at My World of Cards, Scrapbooking, and Triathlons. She used Cover-A-CardTM CC030 Pine, CC032 Medallion, and CC054 Swirls and Stars. A really beautiful card, Tracey. You can almost smell the pine and the lace and rickrack are a wonderful touch too!
Here is a beautiful card from Olga Jodoin. She used Cover-A-CardTM CC030 Pine, and CC027 Flourishes to create the festive and lovely Christmas card below. The medallion with the punched edge and your choice of paper lace are both wonderful embellishments!

Take a look at the card designed by Deloris Thiede, Stamping At The Lake. She used a stamp from clear stamp set Winter Fun to create her winter wonderland! The image can also be purchased in Red Rubber, mounted on wood or cling, as Skating Snowman. A really bright, pretty, and fun card, Deloris.
Last, but definitely not least are these two very pretty cards shared by Stephanie Lee. For her first card she used clear stamp set Winter Trees. What creative work with the embossing powder and the individual stamps, Stephanie. A beautiful effect!
And for her second bright and cheerful card she used Noel Doll. So much fun and really says Christmas too! Thank you for sharing Stephanie!
Cindy chose clear stamp sets Holiday Cheer and Sentiments I to create her beautiful serene Christmas card. The Tall Trees can also be purchased as Red Rubber, either mounted on wood or cling. The colors are yummy, Cindy. Thanks for sharing your awesome card!
The card below is from Katie Bondroff. Her family has a tradition of having a special corn casserole at holiday dinners. She said they get fresh corn and freeze it so it's like fresh from the garden when they use it for their casseroles. For her card below, she chose Corn, Cover-A-CardTM Distressed Denim, Distressed Lines, and Scratches to create her wonderful Fall card. How pretty and thank you for sharing your family tradition too, Katie!!
Our next beautiful card, is from Janice Bennett She used Cover-A-CardTM CC030 Pine, to design her lovely card. She also added a bit of real pine cone to give it depth and a real feel. You can almost smell the pine. The colors you chose, Janice, are wonderful and perfect for your green pine branches! Thank you for participating and joining in the fun!
Shannon White chose Trees For Sale. Shannon said, "Growing up my folks always made a big deal about going to get the Christmas Tree. We actually took the whole day and would drive to a tree farm in the snow and cut it down ourselves. Mom would make a big thermos of hot cocoa and Dad would chop down the tree we picked. 8-) A really beautiful card, Shannon, and thank you so much for sharing your tradition too! Good luck in the drawing.
