Day 10 was to use the letter I.
I chose to use Ice Skating and Ivory.
Now don't ask me why but when I purchased this digi stamp back in Nov 2014 I thought the animal holding onto the girls leg was a pig! It still looked like a pig when I printed it out and so I started coloring up the said pig in pink and it wasn't until I got right down to the tail that I suddenly thought
"Hang on that doesn't much look like a curly tail and those aren't even trotters hanging onto her leg" so I either need a very long holiday or a visit to Spec Savers! Lol. Fortunately a brown promarker quickly corrected my mistake. The image is by Mo's Digital Pencil "Skating" and coloured with my promarkers in blue and Ivory plus brown for the

Day 12 was to use the letter J.I chose to use Joy, Jingle Bells and A Joy fold Card.
The design paper is by First Edition " Jingle All The Way" paper pad. Green and red card stock to make the Joy fold card. Jingle Bells are an Xcut die cut bell and sentiment set. Sentiment inside card is from a magazine freebie paper set. There was just enough of the scrap of twine left from the above card to tie the bells together. Green ribbon from my stash.
Card folded flat.

Hi Mrs. A, three wonderful Christmas cards to add to your collection, love the little pig story with the first card. Have a wonderful weekend.. Megan
Oh, this really is sweet! Beautiful festive paper and a lovely die cut bell! Fantastic design too! Thanks so much for sharing your card with us at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges!

These all turned out great Valery Anne! Looks like you got busy having a lot of fun cute story about your first card :) Thanks so much for creating with us this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches!
Another three lovely cards and it looks like you are making headway with Beccy's challenge. I'm just about up to date again after having a bit of a struggle with the letter M! At first glance, I can see why you thought that was a pig in the first card (maybe I need to visit Specsavers too!). Love that you managed three J words in the third card. Look forward to seeing what you post in your next batch.
Love the story of the little "pig" Valery, thanks for sharing... it gave me quite a chuckle. The card you made is wonderful, the image is great and I love the colour scheme you finally settled on. Love the silver sentiment too.
Your second card with Frosty the Snowman is wonderfully festive. I love tartan at Christmastime, it's homey and makes me think of wood stoves and hot chocolate... none of which would be welcome in Australia at this time of year.
The patterned paper on your "J" card is awesome, love the mix of red, green and kraft. You sure have dexterous fingers to be able to tie the bow out of that little scrap of twine. Well done!
Cheers,
Beccy
Brilliant cards . Thank you for joining us at Creative Craft Cottage challenge. Good luck Ginny DT for Creative Craft Cottage

Hi Mrs A all your cards are stunning. I love them all. Thank you for all the inspiration. Have a great weekend. Take care. Hugs Jackie
I can't stop giggling at the dog/pig thing - I can so relate to that! You've created a wonderful trio of cards, and I'm loving the 2nd card with that pretty plaid design with the traditional red & green colors and golden sentiment! The 3rd is so unique with that fold design and I love the perfectly coordinating dsp with the red & green. NJ on all, and thanks for playing along with the Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge :)
I just went yesterday for my eye exam and I still don't know what animal that is! The coloring is great though. I love that tartan paper and sweet snowman and also a great choice of paper for the third card. Thanks for sending me a joke, it made me laugh.
What can you steal and not get in trouble for?

Mrs.A, thanks so much for visiting my blog. I love Beccy's challenge every year. I try to keep up but sometimes that's not easy. Today I have my grand-twins all day. Maybe I'll get time after they go home to get a card made or I just might drop into bed and sleep 11 hours. Two year olds exhaust me. LOL! But I'm here to check out your cards while they are napping. I love your choice of images. And I recognize some of the other challenges you are playing with. I love your color choices too. I'm going to check out the rest of your cards and become a follower. That might have to wait until tomorrow though. Have a super weekend!
What lovely cards Mrs A..especially the first one, such a lovely image. Have a great weekend xx
Lovely cards, thank you for joining us at CRAFT Challenge this week and good luck!

You have been so busy with these three cards and all them are beautiful! That doggie in the first one seems a pig with those ears, I understand your mistake :D Well done covering him with brown! Love the geometric design of the second card and the vintage look of the Joy Fold card! Love this folding, I have do use it one day!
Hugs
Cute image, fabulous colour and design! Love that you thought the dog was a pig...so often I start colouring then realise that I've got something wrong...glad I'm not the only one who interprets artists' images in my own way!!!
Thanks for playing along with us at Fab'n' Funky this week.

On a quick catch up, have a temp internet connection until the return to fix the new pole tomorrow. Yes you had commented about the dreaded migraines, it was on my other post from last week, so thanks so much for your understanding.

Three fabulous cards Mrs A. Looks a bit like a pig to me as well! Love the last card, the design works brilliantly with the papers xx
All your cards are beautiful, Valery, but the last one is stunning! I simply love the papers and the great shape of your last card. Hugs, my talented lady.
Three gorgeous Christmas cards, Mrs A! I had to smile at your 'pig' story - I'm glad I'm not the only one to 'misread' an image! Thank goodness you caught it in time to make a correction! Once on a card that is much harder (go on, guess how I know!!!)
love Mags B x

All your cards are lovely and thank you for joining in at Christmas with the Cuties with your first one. I agree with you that It's not very clear what the little animal is. I suppose it must be a dog, but if I didn't have my glasses on I can imagine it being a pig :) . Lynne DT x
