Since it's spring, I'll start with a spring card. Shopping our Stash Challenge is asking for Spring or Easter, and the Four Seasons Challenge wants Spring. And since the bluebells are a Penny Black stamp, I'm linking it up to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.
Moving on to working on my Christmas card stash. Double D wants to see Cute Little Animals and Jingle Belles want us to be inspired by one of the cookies in this image:
I saw the cookie on the left near the bottom with the tangle of lights and thought of the stamp I have with a cute little dog all tangle up in Christmas lights.

I watercoloured the image and went over the lights with Glossy Accents. I trimmed with an old Spellbinders label tag, and bordered with green and added to a red card base. And I found the perfect sentiment that refers to lights!
And finally Christmas Craft Creations wants to see Designer Paper on our cards. I love colour coordinating DP with the colours I use in my focal image.

That is a beautiful bluebell image and so prettily coloured Susan, and the colours in the background give it a lovely vintage feel, and then your cute dog and owl on the other two seasonal cards, with the traditional green and red colour combination is perfect on the second, and the colours you used on the owl topper look great with the background dp..three wonderful cards. x
