Hello all! I know you're just dying to see another Christmas card, aren't you? Okay, maybe not, but I saw the Double D Challenge asking for buildings and wanted to play, so did the wise thing and made another Christmas card for my box. The days scoot by so quickly and the next thing you know I realized if I don't post it this week I'll be too late. I have to say this one was pretty fun.
Ordinarily I try to follow the inspiration board more closely, but not so much this time. My little house is a building. That's about it. The whimsical scene was created with several dies, none of which are new, but I'll list them further down. I was concerned about the weight with the layers, but when all was said and done it came in under an ounce, even with the envelope and cover sheet -- yay!
I have to rush off now. Honestly, things come up out of the blue and I never know what to expect. We've got the sewer guy coming today (in fact I just heard him pull up), the ant man finally called to schedule, and Rich has the kitchen and dining room pulled apart to install new baseboards. When it rains it pours! Enjoy your day!
Dies: Poppystamps Boddington Cottage, Stitched Landscapes, Stitched Majestic Mountains, Impression Obsession Christmas Icons (snowman) and Small Snowflake Set

love your mix of traditional and non traditional elements in your Christmas. The house and snowman are so cute and love the yellow sky with falling snow :)
Your card is so very cute and very creative! I love the house and trees dies and those mountains are so wonderful! Your life sounds very busy there. It's pretty quiet here, thankfully just doing Spring clean up and keeping the grass mowed as it jumps this time of year. Of course I have slowed quite a bit since my fall!
WOW so much going on in your life these days, I don't know how you keep up with it all but glad you do and even find time to create something as fabulous as this to share and inspire! What a fun & lovely scene ... love everything about it! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D ‘Buildings’ challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often. We appreciate your support!!

This is adorably cute and I love every single detail, the cute polka dot paper adds so much and the mountains, and and and!! I could go on and on. Sounds like you have a pretty busy life, same here, it gets crazy at times, we have a glass repair guy coming as a semi threw a rock up and put a hole in my hubby's relatively new truck, hope it is able to be fixed and not replaced, like you said, it always something! Thank you for joining our fun challenge at Double D!!

Aren't you clever, I didn't think of making a Christmas card for that challenge :) Your combo of these dies worked beautifully together and I like your touch of pattern paper in there too:) The snowman with the sentiment is too cute! I bet you feel good about the amount of Christmas cards you were able to get done this month :) Hope all went smoothly yesterday, and I agree things just seem to pop up and in groups!
Wow! I'm so impressed although I don't know why I should be. You are so creative and always have "outside the box" creations. I love all the dies you used to create this beautiful Christmas card. I agree, when it rains, it pours. There is always something needing to be done around a house.
And a beauty it is at that! Love the ones in your previous post too but those darling dogs always steal the show... They are adorable! Have a beautiful day Leslie
Love your cute fun Christmas card and all the little dies-good luck with all your to do things and hope all is sorted soon

cute. Have a great day
So cute, and that font is fabulous.
Such a fun and whimsical card. I love the contemporary way in which this was designed Leslie x. Such a happy card and even the cute snowman thinks so too. Love the font on the sentiment too x.
Oh my gosh!! you have the cutest, most adorable dies, Lesly, this one is just amazing!!
Love the snowy mountains and the bright colors of this sweet little house.
The adorable Snowman looks as if he's shouting that sweet Christmas wish to all of us.
Another card for your Holiday stash.
Thank you for sharing.
Stay healthy and safe.

I apologize for the misspelling of your name, my friend.

Your card is wonderful, and your day sounds like it was very busy! I hope all went well for you.
I'm always happy to see another Christmas card! Leslie, the polka dotted golden sky is so whimsical and it makes this pretty card so fun! I love it! You were truly inspired with this one!
So glad to see you here at Double D again. Your clever card is another way to use buildings for many occasions. I love it and the cozy look that you got on this Christmas card of many layers.
Fabulous design, love that colour and gorgeous added beauties xx
Such a sweet card, so full of whimsy. I love all those die cuts, and the stitched edges are so cute. Lots of great work here and great take on the Mood Board. Thanks so much for playing along with us over at Double D, I hope we see you back again soon!

Oh, I recognize those dies and I'm very happy to see them again! LOve your sunny/snowy/polka dot sky!
Have fun with the makeover - another reason to add the long list of why we should be neighbors who give each other a helping hand! We're painting and tiling this weekend - and I use that WE lightly! I will be the supervisor, and paint-roller!

Another wonderful fun and refreshing card. I like the non-traditional feel and yet it is holiday festive. Sounds like a lot is happening at your house. I hope it settles into a normal routine for you soon.
How I love that sunny polka-dot sky and the sweet little house and trees! The font of the sentiment completes the whimsical, fun feel of this card!
I hope things have calmed down in your household now and you are enjoying your weekend. I really love your little winter scene, it is quirky and fun. Your spotty paper is wonderful as the sky, I would never have done that. I am far too literal sometimes xx
Well you are on a roll with the Christmas cards Leslie! Love the whimsical feel to this card. Great use of many dies, and love your polka dot sky, so fun! You sure have a lot on the go these days, but so glad you have found some time to create. Have a wonderful day Leslie, and sorry for the late commenting. No more overtime so my hours are now 6:30 - 3pm each day, so more time for creating :).
I'm always up for Christmas cards...my very fave! This one sure is cute..love the lil scene!
You sound like you are super busy!!
Such a sweet and adorable card Leslie! Love the colours and all the pretty details. Thanks for sharing with us at Double "D" Challenges.
