I'm joining my amazing team mates for this week's new Addicted To Stamps and More #121~Anything Goes challenge. As I've mentioned before, I'm on a Christmas card quest to make an 'abundance' of cards for my mom to sell at craft/bake sale held at the neighbourhood seniors' residence where she volunteers (any proceeds are going to her volunteer group). Abundance, of course, means designing in multiples, but because I'm dreadful with full-fledged repeats, some variations *must* occur (if possible...).
The set I'm sharing are precisely of this ilk; same, yet different. The frame die from Simon Says is pure delight; I'll be making a set of cards for my mom to mail to relatives. Any guesses whose photos will be inside those frames?
This one is rather busy, but that paper is such fun...
Nothing particularly 'refined' here, but hope you find these simple cards easy on the eyes (and easy on the time, too!).
I hope you'll share your Anything Goes gem in the gallery. This week's winner will receive 3 digis of their choice from

I'm so sorry your family time is over. But we need you back home continuing to crank out card and write fun blog posts! I also love the Simon Says frame. It can be a simple card, yet it still looks so finished with that frame. I love your snowflakes - they are so elegant - I especially like the green/red on kraft.
Amazing set of cards, Carol! Hopefully you will be spending time with your family soon enough. Sounds like you had a great time! xx PS: Love your signature ;) ;)
What gorgeous cards!!
One frame and 3 different cards Carol, I really like the snowflakes on the second one.
These cards are too amazing!
awesome cards...love all the fun metallic die cuts! Such a perfect signature for you, the butterfly is so you.
Glad you had fun with the family!
very cool set of cards, love that frame and way to go showcasing it x
What a great set of cards Carol. Think I like the top one best, the snow looks fab as do the snowflakes. :)
These are wonderful! Love that frame paired with the metallic die cuts!
Ummm...let me think....could the "dynamic duo's" photo be a part of these fantastic cards??? Just a wild guess! Love these, and am delighted in the slight differences of each! I'm especially loving the one done in kraft; those snowflakes really pop against that color! Wonderful cards! I sure hope you get lots of days with the little ones, and not so much snow! Have a great week. Bev
Amazing design Carol ... and just changing up small elements makes them all completely different. Sounds like you had a wonderful time with your family ... it's so hard to say goodbye. Have a safe trip home! Loll xx

Carol, your shimmery snowflake and star filled frames are just gorgeous ... hmmm ... will the frolicking duo be making an appearance in your Mom's frames ... just an idea!! Delighted that you had such wonderful family time! Hugs, Anita :)
OH these are all so pretty! I am the same way when it comes to cards, I really don't mind doing the same design, but I just have to change the colors or something. I can't hardly do the exact same thing twice. I'm loving your design here and I think I'm going with the first one as my favorite, because those white snowflakes on the kraft just stole my hear! (Hugs my friend! )
All so beautiful Carol!
I've been trying to decide if I should spend part of my gift certificate on that die & you've helped me decide yes! These are wonderful, Carol!
Sorry for the delay, Carol, I got here eventually! What a fab selection and all so different using the same die. Great work x
Hi Carol. Love how you played with the 'Merry Christmas' die! Great variety of cards, if I had to choose a favourite it would be the first one with its fresh colours! Sorry about the late comment and yes, I shall be doing a tutorial for the concertina flip card soon. Have a lovely day! hugs Monika xxx
