Jolly Holiday Series #8 and #9

Good morning everyone!  It looks like it is going to be a bright and sunny, cool and crisp fall day here in SW Ontario.  Yay!  I do love fall but I'm kinda anticipating waking up to that first snowfall too.  I'm continuing to progress (slow but sure) on my stampin' room, I have so much stuff it is hard to find a place for every stray accessory and bit of paper or die cut.  My biggest problem is my UFO's, UnFinished Objects or ones that are complete and don't have a book to go into.  My whole house is a mess and I feel so overwhelmed by the chaos!!!  We are working on it though, trust me.  By mid December this house is going to be spotless!

For today's cards I didn't see the point in sharing them separately as they are almost identical with the exception of accessories added in different places.  I want to start off by defending myself on purchasing this stamp set A Cardinal Christmas, I have been teased so much for owning this one.  I like it because it is very traditional and it is good to make cards to send to little old ladies, lol.  Normally I would stamp these birds in Staz On black ink and water colour them but I decided to go for a red work or toile look.  Does anyone know what that is?  Red work is stitchery done completely in red on a white background, and toile is a fabric that has a print on it usually in one colour, the print tends to be pretty traditional.  I like red work, I like toile fabrics and I like A Cardinal Christmas, so there!  I'm an old fashioned fuddy duddy at heart.  Have a super day, I will the boys are at school!  E
