    The cards are fantastic – I wish I could participate, but my little one leaves me so tired at the end of the day all I want to do is sleep – maybe in five years I will be able to participate again.

    Congrats on making your deadlines – and still maintaining your sense of humour!!

    Gorgeous Christmas cards as always – but the upcoming white challenge –eeek!!! I love me some colour, but will see what I come up with!!!

  18. Janis Reid says:

    Sorry to not have seen you on Wed. at the store. I feel I have to sneak time to craft in the middle of all the busy-ness of the season but is really is relaxing to pick up the copics or prismas and forget everything else.

  19. Karen says:

    Gorgeous! Shady leaf, Frosty and Polar Bear Circle are now on my must-have list, thanks to the babes!

  20. Deborah B. says:

    Thanks for your time Emily! It is so great to see all these beautiful cards each week. Thanks to those who submit – I always get great ideas.

  21. So gorgeous. I just love all the Christmas cards.

  22. Laura says:

    Outstanding artwork!!!! I love the use of the stamp Artsy House….turning it into a Christmas card theme with the snow on the roof. Awesome!

  23. Em, thank-you so much for all the work that you put into the Bellarific Friday post! Of all the challenge blogs I partake in, yours is the ONE that I look forward to seeing every Friday. I get to see the DT’s work (it’s not a link telling me to go to their blog to look at their work) and everyone’s entry is right there at once with viewable size cards that I again don’t have to click to view, so I actually look at people’s entries instead of just uploading my card and moving on. So thank-you again for taking the time to do this, I love it this way and I won’t be one to ask you to do it any differently=) Loved the entries this week! I keep seeing more and more stamps I don’t have that I must have=)

  24. Leslie W. says:

    The cards this week are amazing as always! Glad you met your deadlines. Dena and Helen were working away on cutting and packaging when I saw them this week. They make a good team!

  25. Carolyn P. says:

    All the cards are beautiful!!! I am inspired by all you Bellas. 🙂

  26. Julie F says:
