Jingle Belles Pink Christmas

Happy Tuesday, peeps!  The Jingle Belles have a pink Christmas card challenge in honor of Breast Cancer Month! What a nice gesture--they're donating money for each card submitted! I am throwing my hat in the ring with this one:

 
I used Waffle Flower's Postage Stamp dies and Christmas stencils in shades of Sweet Sugar Plum, Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Bubble Bath and Crumb Cake to create my card:

I used the Postage Collage stamp and a little Christmas stamp from Sweet & Sassy to add my little "stamp" icons in Versafine Black and Crumb Cake.  The inside of the Sweet Sugar Plum card was stamped with a goodie-but-oldie stamp from Amy R's Handy Christmas Greetings:

 I still need some practice with my stenciling, but I'll keep trying!

John took my nephew and his sons Jameson and Sawyer fishing on Saturday on John's new (to him) boat:

 

They only caught one catfish, which they threw back, and two eels...yuck!  That was quite the experience, John said!  But they had fun and it was a beautiful day on the river!

Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.  Genesis 1:20-21

Oh my! What a beauty! I imagine you had to be very patient and careful to stencil each of these pretty little stamps. Great colour choices too. 😀
