With these lovelies arriving fairly close to Christmas, I wanted to give a few of them some play time; ultimately, I've recreated pretty much one card, altered slightly to fit challenges. Hope you don't mind the 'same, but different'...My theme will be readily apparent, which is why I'll just zing these in quickly.
First up is my tag for the 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist 2104 Challenge, which was inspired by incredibly talented Julie Ebersole's tag from Day 1:
Julie's pretty-in-pink number, with mine below, inspired by her ombre backgroud and gold/white images....
My second card is off to
Third card (theme figured out, right...and obsession duly noted, right)...
is heading for the galleries at TIME OUT #20~CASE Amy Wanford with Your Own Twist and CASology #125 (my sentiment is silver foil paper..,)
Cards #2 and 3, along with "just because" Card 4
are off to Winnie & Walter Join in to Win.
Evidently I'm very happy to have deer in my collection *grin* and some swoon-inducing Winnie and Walter cutaways.
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments add sparkle to my day!

Thank you for showing us so many different looks you can achieve using the same deer die! They are all stunning!
Such a beautiful selection of cards and tags. Thank you so much for joining us at CASology this week.
"The same, but different" totally works for me....especially when each creation is fabulous! Talk about the PERFECT pairing with the stag die and the forest/tree embossing folder! Gor-geee-ous inked background - the purple(?) and mauve(?) look amazing!
I likely won't be doing much blog visiting until after Christmas (major prep for company and last minute tags) so I want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Have a blast with the wee ones!
Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the desk...WOW! Your tag and cards are absolutely gorgeous, Carol! The stag is stunning, especially against your inked backgrounds and your embossed card base is perfection!!!
I happened to see your comment at Tracey's blog...the mat dies are Mama Elephant, and they're called Femme Frames :)

Hey there birthday girl...me again! A little birdie named Anita that lives in France has just told us that it is your birthday today! I'm so glad that she 'tweeted' that message to blogland or I would have missed wishing you a very happy and wonderful day that is filled with tons of cake, ice cream and crafty type gift cards!
Um like WOW!!! The first two are my favorite, i love the ombre with the platters, and the other wow-wee the background!! All are so elegant!! Just gorgeous!!!
Absolutely beautiful projects! I love the purple/pink panel you've paired with your embossed background. Thanks for joining us at FMS this week!
Wow! Love the delightful deer cards :) They look amazing !
That deer is so elegant and you have shown him off beautifully! I love his background on the FMS card - but he looks great on pink too. The snowflakes are a lovely touch on the last two cards.
Hello again,
I just wanted to stop by and wish you a belated Happy Birthday! I hope you had a wonderful day and that all of your birthday wishes come true!!!
This is the kind of post I find really inspirational, to see how you can use the same supplies and creating different looks. They all look beautiful!
Great BF purchases, Carol--wonderful cards!
Wow ... Carol, these are so inspiring ... similar supplies, such different and utterly gorgeous looks ... completely outstanding, my friend! Hugs, Anita :)
Oops, amid all that admiration, I forgot to add ... always so happy to have you play along with us at Time Out! Hugs, Anita :)
Stunning inspiration my friend--oh now I feel the need to case all of them!! I am about to start backtracking on your posts! I have a cuppa and here I go...
Oh Deer - those are gorgeous, pun intended :)
Deer = Love. And add them to birch trees and it's total LOVE. Those die cut sentiments are pretty spiffy too. And may I take this moment to wish you (spiffy lady) one very belated birthday but happy, happy new year of life!
Oh I missed your birthday! I know your thoughts are miles away from your special day now but I do hope you had a wonderful one. I've missed seeing all your creations and now that I am catching up I continue to be blown away by your creativity. Your cards are amazing! big hugs!
