Day 5, Letter "E" - 30 Days of Christmas at Beccy's Place

     It's the next day in the alphabet prompts at Beccy's Place 30 Days of Christmas and that means we're going to be doing Elves, Embossing, Embossing folders, Easel cards, Evergreens, Ecru, Ebony, and Embellishments.  Whew, that may be my longest list of the entire 30 days!

     I used another of Beccy's images from her (now retired) 12 Days of Christmas set, this time using the piper from 11 Pipers Piping and turning him into an Elf.  I think it was the Elf boots and Santa hat that made me see him as an Elf.   My card is actually a twisted Easel card.

Pine Cone Christmas

     I'm so enjoying the sets from MHK Designs!  I think I have almost all of  Mynn's sets but she comes up with new releases every month so I may have missed one.  :-D  But this set is so perfect for Christmas and I knew it would be best used in a very simple design.

     I used my ProMarkers to color the pine cones, then cut them out and punched the corners.  I sized the sentiment fairly large so that it would be the focus of the card, printed and punched the corners of that piece as well.  I layered everything onto forest green CS and mounted all of it onto the card front.  It looked just a bit bare in the upper corner so I added the bow.  Perfect!
