Back in October, Alexandra asked me to create a sketch and a Christmas card based on the sketch for Scrap Rendez-Vous. I'm totally going to admit it, I felt that I needed to overachieve, lol. At a minimum, I was going to do two cards with vastly different styles. So that was exactly what I did. First is the card sketch.The first card uses Graphic 45's Christmas Emporium collection that Aimee had sent me. The 8x8 paper pad is just way too awesome for making mini-albums and cards! It's wonderful that manufacturers make their collections into these smaller formats. The cool vintage looking buttons came in a kit from Scrapbook Attack from probably two years ago now!
Next I tried out my new Cricut Winter Frolic cartridge. I admit it, I like cutesy things, very very very much! I don't think I will ever tire of that trend, even when it is no longer a trend!! I would like some suggestions on what kind of papers to use for faces, you know, natural skin tone colors. This is something I struggle to find every time I want to make cut a person! I used an SRM Stickers sentiment for this card as well.
Lastly, unrelated to Scrap Rendez Vous, I have a Santa card using Santa's workshop collection from Doodlebug. And have you seen the newest collection by Doodlebug: Sweet Cakes? Oh my, Valentine can't get here fast enough! But before we go there, ho ho ho, I wish a very merry Christmas to you and yours!!

These are just delightful Jing Jing, but I must say that first one i s just exquisite!
What totally cute cards, Jing Jing. Or I should say elegant, with the Graphic 45 one! Love the vintage style there. Those buttons are fabulous. And I adore the cutesy looks, too. No clue what paper to suggest for skin tone, but I think you did a great job. I just finally broke down and purchased my first Copic marker......a skin tone one. Going to try to muster up the courage to give it a try. ;)
Super fun cards. I love the little girl's pony tails. So cute. Wishing you and your family a Very Merry Christmas.
