November Release and Blog Hop at Our Daily Bread Designs

Good morning and welcome to the November Release and Blog Hop at Our Daily Bread Designs!  I can't believe it is already November!  I really, really, REALLY do not know where the year went!  I must admit it is fun to start making holiday cards.  However, it is terrifying when I think of how many weekends I have to prepare for Thanksgiving and then Christmas!  Does anyone else feel my pain?  **gnashing of teeth**  I have found the best therapy is to just give in and let go!  So I did just that when working on this month's cards.  Here is my first project using the new Winter Chickadee stamp set and the new Christmas Paper Collection 2017.

1.  Soft Gray Card Stock - 5.5 inches x 8.5 inches; scored and folded at 4.25 inches

Beautiful cards. I love that the deer and trees are a set of dies. Makes it very convenient to get the right size of images to make the scene. That snow globe card is so awesome. Thanks for the inspiration.

I really like your choice of background paper. I tend to go more solid so I like the pop you get with the paper.
