Here is my card for the Challenge : http://www.duhnproductions.com/Pics/displayimage.php?pid=1763&message_id=8004e64746ddbaa588a5571be27f9235&message_icon=info#cpgMessageBlock

I actually tried Molding paste in the stencil, I think I would like the effect if the glitter were fine instead of chunky like I used, but I still like the sparkle with the silver embossing of my sentiment tag, the cream paper I stamped on was a slick shimmer paper and I thought I messed it up when I stamped cause I thought for sure my stamp slid but it ended up looking good when I embossed it.

What a lovely card, Connie!  So different!

I did get one of my bits and pieces made into a card this morning.  It also crosses over into the Oldies challenge since that was what I was playing with most of this week.

Connie, I immediately went looking for that stencil, and I never would have considered it if I hadn't seen your card first.  Now it's on my Wish List.  Beautiful card, and I love that glitter.

Heidi, I love the shadow stamping that you are doing, and the embossed background in white is lovely.

Great cards.

You did well, April. You have posted lots of lovely cards.

I still haven't made a single one.

Sigh.

I was just sorting through cards, and I counted 35 Christmas cards in the stack.  Not too shabby, but I feel like this is a good month to keep going with them as I bet I will lose steam nearer to the holidays.

Here's my latest from this week I have done. This heat has made me dream of cooler temps. I know it will be here before we know it!

Heidi , the bird is from I brake for stamps. I've had it for a couple of years now but I'm pretty sure they still carry it.

Connie, your Dh is a great shopper!

April and Heidi, you all are doing well for the year!

I've added some stamps, embossing folders and stencils to my wish list!

Im now sure how many I will need. My mom and Grandma have both requested some Christmas cards. I'm waiting for a number on how many.

LeighAnn, those are terrific Christmas cards. 

With all this talk of how many Christmas cards you have all made and how many you need, I felt my stomach fall.  I've only made two all year long.  I just went in to see if I had any from last year, and I have twenty-one!  They are the ones that are not quite my style, some that I made at workshops; most will have to be hand-delivered.  That's OK.  Thank goodness I have some.

I know a few of mine are leftover also.  Last year I did not have time to make any gift tags, so I am really hoping to get that done this year. 

Yes, there sometimes is that problem of the cards that need to be hand delivered.  Hopefully you will have the opportunity to use those ones this year, Daria!

I made a total of 5 yesterday! 4 were using the same stamp set. I only got 2 uploaded as of now, I'm having issues with the size of my pictures. They're too big and a bit fuzzy looking. I will try again later.

Heidi, I love those colorful snowflakes! You mentioning gift tags reminded me I bought some really cute stickers last year with the intentions of using them on gift tags! I should probably add that to my crafty to do list!

Here are 2 of mine I finished-

This one is not technically a Christmas stamp but I thought it would work. She was so much fun to color,I plan to use this image for more Christmas cards.

And here's another. I've been trying to work on my ink blending skills and this card took me forever to finish! It's hard to know when to stop adding ink!

LeighAnn you are really on a roll!  I need to comment on your latest gallery entries!

So I think it was last month that Cindi had the prompt of a pierced edge for the challenge and I never got around to it.  Well I finally finished two today with that prompt!
