Challenge #301

Good morning!  Well, it is almost holiday time.  With all of the preparations and bustle, why don't you find some time to relax and do a bit of last minute card making.  We would be happy if you could join us.

As usual, we start with a photo.  This one is from the archives as I have been a bit lax with my camera.

The birds love to peck at what apples remain on our tree all winter - sort of "apple popsicles".

On to our top cards from challenge #299.  Here they are (in random order):

Maria

Sarah

Sherri

Beautiful cards, ladies!  Each so very different.  In fact, I loved all the cards this week and it was extremely hard to choose.  Thanks, everyone who participated!

Now for our sketch for challenge #301 (courtesy of LeAnne):

It is a beautiful sketch and the optional theme is : Twinkle, Twinkle.

Amazing cards, team!  I know you will inspire our followers to find a small bit of time for themselves during all the "busy-ness".  You are absolutely the best team out there.  A

big thank you to you all!

Remember, everyone, that you have two weeks to play along and you can enter below or on our Facebook page.  Happy creating, all!
