12 Days of Holiday Card Insipration Day 1!

Hello my Crafty Friends!  Well it's the 1st of November ALREADY!  November is an awesome month over here as we celebrate Ariel's birthday in 10 days!  I am busy preparing for her birthday party!  BUT I have also been making tons of Christmas cards and have been finding myself not being the best blogger about them which is why I have decided to do a 12 Days of Holiday Cards on my blog! It's a way to keep my blogging them and do something fun!  Leave a comment on each of the 12 posts and you will be in the drawing for a prize from me!

Today my card is also on the Scrapbooking Cafe Online's blog!  I am really enjoying being part of this team.  And I love the Scrapbooking Cafe's online store, they always have the hottest products and will order in for you what you want!  Here is my card:

I used Memory Box's Leaping Deer die, and Simple Stories Handmade Holiday paper pad!  I don't know if you can see but there is a faint white line around the deer, it's because I cut him out with Hero Arts layering paper (it's white on the back) I really like how it turned out!  As you know I enjoy creating more than 1 Holiday card of the same style, I've figured out that 4 seem to be not too much of the same card that I enjoy making 4 same cards and have enough of the same product to actually make 4!

I have a cute photo of the kids dressed up from yesterday to share with you:

 This bride costume Ariel has been wearing since she was really little where she had to pick up the bottom because it was too long!  She really loves it and really wanted to be a bride!  I tied her hair up and pinned her veil in behind and placed the crown on her head!  She was so excited!  Than I offered her these flowers that I have on my nightstand and boy did she get excited!  It was a little unsettling to see her dressed like this though!  As for Carter well he wears this costume around the house all the time too!  He seems to think though that he can climb up walls and all sorts of other things!  Actually in August Carter fell headfirst on the basement concrete floor and got a concussion later when he explained it he said "I was trying to grab the wire on the wall like Spiderman"  oh boy!  Not sure if I ever did share that, we spent the night in the ER and he did have a concussion but thankfully it wasn't serious. 

Well that's it for me!  I will be back tomorrow with Day 2 and I am taking part in the Caring Hearts Blog Hop!
