Blue snowflake
This challenge I started on black card stock I embossed a snowflake pattern on the white paper. I added a sparkly iridescent ribbon down the right third of the card and added a blue snowflake die cut and placed a Pearl in the center. This is one of my favorite Christmas cards and I actually mass produce them and used them for my own this year to send out. They were fairly quick and easy to make and I like how elegant they look when they were done.

O Christmas 🎄
For this challenge I chose one of my favorite songs...o Christmas tree.. I think it's very pretty soft flowing song and I also like it because my heritage is German and we as children learn to sing the German version of the song. I .started on a green card stock I took my gold ink pad and lightly went over a creamy textured card stock with my sponge and then I used an olive green stamp pad and made the tree pattern with my tree stamp in a random pattern different variations of the olive green color. I stamped my sentiment in black.

O Christmas tree 🎄
One of my favorite Christmas songs is Oh Christmas tree. We learned the German version as kids and so it just has a special meaning to me.
For this challenge I used a brown paper card stock and with my clear stamp pad and clear embossing powder I chose a Christmas tree. After that was all dry I lightly went over it with my green ink pad to make the Christmas tree stand up off the paper and then I stamped my sentiment in black. I was a little disappointed that it didn't show up any better. It's a little hard to see from the picture unless you enlarge it but it's very pretty in the daylight.http://craftygalscornerchallenges.blogspot.nl/

Sketch # 182 remake blue snowman
For the sketch number 182 remake, I started with white card stock. using my embossing machine I did a snowflake pattern on light blue paper. I chose to reverse stamp One of my snowman stamps. I used my markers to add just a little bit of color to the snowman and my gel pen to re-create a few of the snowflakes on the black. But it's very hard to see that in the picture. I also went over a little bit of the embossing with the silver gel pen which is also very hard to see in the picture.
