ABC Christmas G Mid-Way

Hello stamping friends!!

Edited: This card won Top 3 at Christmas Stamping All Year Long.

I hope you are having a lovely week so far!! It's been crazy busy for me (as usual). But yesterday I had to take some time to get my hair done. Yep, I am about half-way grey so I have to get my hair colored on a regular basis, and no, red is not my natural color (I guess I would be considered a "brunette"). However, in addition to the color, I got a Keratin treatment for the first time. I have a nick-name for myself; I'm the "Chia-Pet...just add water and watch my hair grow"!! LOL Yep, I have naturally frizzy hair and it's driving me crazy. The bad thing about the Keratin treatment is that I can't wash my hair for 3 days and it's kind of heavy and "sticky" with the treatment on it! I think I'm going to go crazy before I get to wash my hair...this treatment BETTER work!! 

Have you had a Keratin treatment before? If so, what do you think about it?

Today it's time for the ABC Christmas Challenge Mid-way post. I made a card for the challenge last week, but apparently I totally forgot to post it!! 

Anyway, the challenge is: G is for Gold, White, & a touch of Green color challenge.

You can check out the full post here. 

Here is my mid-week card...

I used one of the adorable Magnolia stamps that are on sale this week at Stamp and Create. This is Tilda as a Star. The papers are MME Lost in Found (from my stash). I also used WRS Christmas Circle Sentiments, Liquid Applique, and Spruce DooHickey.

The sketch is from Simply Magnolia.

Tilda was stamped in Stampin' Up Basic Brown onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...

I stamped the image on the inside of the card as well... 

Here is the card I created for last week and forgot to post...

It is a CAS card using an old Stampin' Up set. 

Ok, not it's your turn! Let's see your take on the challenge! The challenge runs through April 17th at 6pm UK time (which is 1pm EST, I think).

Both cards are great! The first one is really sweet, and I like how you have decorated the inside. The image on the one at the bottom I simply love, and the golden color is perfect for that image.
