Card Design: Imagine That...Christmas Horseshoe

http://www.imaginethatdigistamp.com/index.html
Today I have my final Imagine That! Digis by Kris project for March.  Phew!  And not a day too soon! 

Here are my card and details.  Check it out...

General Details: 
  • Today I'm showing you a very clean and simple Christmas card that I made.  I actually made two very similar ones just using different colours and sentiments.  I'll show you the second one next month. 
  • Thankfully, I just managed to get in a second Christmas card for this month to add to the pot to help me avoid my yearly Christmas Card Panic.  Another phew! 
Christmas Cards to date for 2015:  9

Digital Image Details:
  • Christmas Horseshoe: What a sweet image.  As usual, I've opted to use one of the coloured versions for this project.  Always the great choice if you are a time weary person like myself.  Clicking on the name or watermark below will take you to the set's location in the store. This set is currently on sale!

I'm Sponsoring...Through the Craft Room Door


Hello my wonderful peeps.  Cara from Through the Craft Room Door (TTCRD) is one of my followers and she approached me to sponsor a couple challenges this year.  I was absolutely thrilled to add another challenge blog to my sponsorship list. TTCRD is always an Anything Goes challenge so there are no excuses for not entering!  This week's challenge starts today and will finish on April 6th at 11:55 p.m., MST.
 
I gave the team the option between two sets and they chose to work with my Tag Grab Bag 1:  Cotton Candy Collection filled with yummy tags and accessories.  Here is a refresher as to what is in the kit...
As TTCRD only has one winner, one person will receive the full mini kit.

To help provide some incentive, I am offering up one of the bows from this kit as a freebie. If you are new to my blog, you can find another freebie from this kit, a patterned tag, by clicking HERE.

This bow is in png format and published at 300 ppi. To grab it, click the download button to be taken to a download location.  In the zip folder you will find a copy of the bow, its preview sheet, the credit information and my terms of use which are standard to all my folders. 

You can find out all the details you need to enter the challenge over at the Through the Craft Room Door Blog.  To head there now, click HERE.  I hope to see some of you there! 

Until next time,
