Anything Goes at Beccy's Place

      This is the final day of 30 Days of Christmas at Beccy's Place and the prompt is to "Do What you Love," so pretty much an "Anything Goes" theme.  I love hanging the Christmas stockings, I love Beccy's pre-colored images (especially when I can't sit long enough to color them myself, which I also love), I love Cardinals in the winter, I love glitter and sparkle, I love fancy frame dies, and I love playing all month long in November each year when it's time for the month-long, daily challenges at Beccy's Place.  All of those went into this final card.  

I started by using sketch #195 from Sweet Sketch Weds.

Cats and Christmas !

      It's time for the next weekly challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and, this being a 5th Monday, we have a theme: "Animals."  Since it's also the last day of November, Thanksgiving is behind us, and we're thinking about Christmas, I did a fun Christmas gift card holder which is long enough to hold money.  

     The image is from Mo's Digital Pencil and Pammie is giving a gift certificate to Mo's store as the prize for this challenge.

Here's what it looks like from the inside when open.

"W" Means Wreath

      Beccy's Place 30 Days of Christmas is getting down to the last of the alphabet prompts and this is the last post I had pre-scheduled so we'll see what happens with the other 2 or 3.  I may run out of days to get them posted since today is already the 29th and I have DT cards to post on the 1st.

      In any case, this one is for "W" and I used: Wreath (Beccy's image), White, and Winter flowers (die cut poinsettias.)

Vintage Cottage

      It's time for the Letter "V" for 30 Days of Christmas at Beccy's Place.  I used one of her images showing a delightful cottage and I printed it in sepia tone to enhance the Vintage look.  The sentiment about Visitors gave me one additional "V" for the prompt.  

     My fear is that with all the Covid quarantine rules, we'll have a solitary Christmas without visitors just like we did Thanksgiving.

A Ride Home

      I know this seems like a crazy time to do a Halloween card but I love doing Halloween cards and I figure if we can undertake Christmas cards all year 'round, why not do all my Halloween cards throughout the year?  Besides, there's a fun new challenge where Halloween is always the theme, called Two Old Bats, and I want to play in it.  Since it runs each month from the 2nd to the 28th, I have to get this posted!  :-D

     This image is another one which was sent to me by a friend after I lost all my digital images when the flash drive crashed.  Consequently, I have no idea who made it or where she got it but I do love it.  I think the cat has her minions, the bats, flying her home at the end of a long Halloween night.  They better hurry - it's almost sunrise.

     What little coloring there is was done with chalks and a cotton swab and took me about 5 minutes!
