It's the letter "M" for today's challenge in the 30 Days of Holidays at Beccy's Place. We're half way through the alphabet and I've played every day! Having missed out on it completely last year, I'm really proud of myself for accomplishing that much this year.
I decided on Mary for my "M" but it could also be Mother and Child or Madonna and Child, and of course, there's always the Manger. Clearly this is a Nativity image from Beccy's Place and I added one of the shepherds from the set. The sentiment is also from the set.
I printed the image on some scrap CS, colored it with watercolor pencils and ProMarkers, then cut it to size on my paper cutter. I used a Fiskars corner punch on all 4 corners, then did a black Mat for it (also a scrap saved from the trash can) the same way. I printed and hand cut the sentiment, matted it with yet another tiny scrap, and hand cut again.
The silver ribbons were in my stash and both are left over pieces from other projects. Not a bad CAS card made entirely from saved snippets. :-D

A new week has started and we're just 6 weeks now until Christmas. For those in the USA, Thanksgiving is next week - Yikes! Too much still to do in that more or less 10 days, not the least of which is my youngest granddaughter's Sweet 16 Birthday to be celebrated this coming Friday.
Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
