I was so happy when the holidays and the holiday hoopla was over so I could get back to the business of making Christmas cards (which makes perfect sense if you live inside my brain). I was quite tickled with how my playing along with Merry Monday netted me quite the stash of Christmas cards before the holidays so I could be all bah-humbuggy during them.With that in mind I decided I needed to play along with Merry Monday again this year. I'm even going to try to play along in the summer when it is so hot the asphalt is melting (oddly enough, it is really hard to think Christmas then).
The latest challenge is to create a Christmas card with critters. Well, I can do that! In fact, I can use my Never Before Used Stash (NBUS) which is a brand spanking new Christmas Critter set. Here we go:
The Fine Print: Speaking of over-achievey--look at me joining two challenges at once. That's rather unheard of for me, but maybe I'm turning over a new leaf. HA! Christmas Critter set by Taylored Expressions "Deck the Halls," holly dies by A Muse Studio (retired), stitched circle die by MFT, scallop circle and square dies by Spellbinders, designer paper by DCWV, ribbon and bling from my stash.

You've got one more than me now lol. x
Cute images . Fun cars. Ikwym about the "pressure" feeling, been though we are very low key holiday peeps, it rubs off and is evident everywhere. Save me....
Both of these are very cute! The penguin really speaks to me... perhaps it's his perfect hat. Nicely done!
Your inner brain and mine would get along juuuust fine! I totally enjoy making these all year long, and slacking in December. These are soooo cute!
Such a cute pair of critters adorning your pretty Christmas cards! You already have 2 more made than moi :)
Brilliant! I'm at 30 Christmas cards and counting. And I too have ridiculous amounts of designer christmas paper - (and stamps). A friend who visited me on Monday brought a gorgeous 12 x 12 double sided pack she saw in the sale for £4 (no idea what that is in dollars but not a lot). They are lovely. So now I have even more than I did last week. Progress?
Specially love the penguin, but the images are both cute, and the cards are very festive.
The only thing better than one adorable Christmas critter card is more than one adorable Christmas critter card! It's so good to see you back at Merry Monday, PJ!
Both critters are adorable! Love your choice of colors, too!! Thanks so much for playing with us at Merry Monday!
These are both so adorable. Love the critters, and they are perfectly colored, too. I hope I have a chance to play along with this challenge. I have so many critter stamps (many NBUS).
Love the critters PJ! so cute..have a fab weekend huggles Sue xxx
These are both so cute--I can see why you got that set! Great cards!
I hear you with being over-achievey about this new set, PJ! These guys are too adorable not to play with all day long and make dozens of cards! No? Too too over-achievey? Well, you did great making two and I love your designs and your inspiration for ways I can use up my butt-load of patterned paper! And you did good linking up to two challenges and I'm thrilled as a blue jay with a piece of tin foil that you chose my NBUS Challenge #3 as one of them!! Have a great weekend!! Hugs, Darnell
PS I forgot to say congratulations on 100 followers!! Mwah! DJ
