Very, very pretty Melissa! Love how different they look!
Love the "insides" of the oval. Both cards are very pretty.
These are two beautiful cards, Melissa! I love both of them. The plaid bg is a stand out card - I love plaid and I'm also trying to get some Christmas cards made.
Beautiful cards Melissa!! I love the pattern papers and how you stamped the sentiment on the pp!
Pretty, pretty, pretty card! Love your Christmas theme! Thanks for sharing!
Oh this is beautiful~
Beautiful Christmas cards Melissa! I love what you did with the sketch!

Melissa- These are simply gorgeous cards! I especially am drawn to the first one! Lovely cards there, my friend!
Wow! Both cards are so sweet and pretty. I'm going to head to the craft store tomorrow to see if I can find DP just like yours. Gorgeous!
Oh, I love these, Melissa! Very cool the way you framed the sentiment within the oval. Great design!
I love how you made both masculine and feminine Christmas cards! Love the unraveling of the twine in the first one and the bling in the second!!
Melissa, these are both gorgeous! Love the colors and the dp you chose is fantastic.
Such pretty cards! Thanks for reminding me about that oval frame set! It's so easy to forget about older stamps in the midst of new ones, but I need to pull that one out for my holiday card making. Thanks for sharing your lovely cards!
What great cards! I love how you have used Gina's label and the sweet little holly dp.
Beautiful cards, love that plaid background!
They are both beautiful. Love your choice of papers.
Both of your cards are very nice...
well done
Love love LOVE the way you did the designer paper within the oval with the sentiment! Both are beautiful! I feel a CASE comin' on!
I love how different each of your cards look. Simple elegant Christmas cards
Wow! The top one with the plaid just pops! And the way you did your oval sentiment is one I can't wait to try!
How clever you are with the ribbons! Nice cards - both!
Two wonderful cards....my favorite is the one with the green ribbons...really cool!
The ovals and designs within are very eye-catching. I especially like the one with the green ribbon (always on the lookout for ones easy to mail).Thanks.
Love the texture that the lace trim adds! YUM :)
Both cards are beautiful - now I know what to do with some lace I have :)

I am normally not a lace person, but this is so beautiful with the lace. Both cards are gorgeous, but I like the lace best.
Wow--just love these cards!
both cards are lovely. The same yet oh, so different with just changing the background and ribbons.
Great Christmas cards. Love the use of pattern papers.
Stunning cards! REal works of art.
Lovely Christmas cards. I especially like your use of ribbons. Beautiful!
Oh very pretty. Love the lace on the first card and the second one is neat because of the way you tucked the poinsettias in. Great job!

I love your cards.
Two lovely cards. Great ideas.
very nice take on the sketches!
I chose a bayberry/burgundy theme for my Christmas cards this year, so these samples are very appealing to me particularly the patterned paper on the first card!
The detail inside the oval is so pretty.
Love both cards. I really like the detail on the inside of the oval. I love the plaid background of the first card. Great job.
Both cards are stunning and the DP is outstanding on both cards. Love the lace treatment on the first card. Thanks for sharing.

Great cards. I really do not want those stamps, I really do not want those stamps, I really... (Trying to convince myself but failing miserably!)
Can't decide which I like better, they're both beautiful!
Both cards are super. Great paper and color choices. TFS!
I like the lace you used for the horizonal lines on one card and the ribbon for the horizal lines on the second card.

these are absolutely gorgeous - I have got to get started on my Christmas cards and this is just the inspiration I need :)
Those are both lovely cards, and I love the stamps used to make them as well.
Cool way to show how the same sentiment can look very different, depending on backgrounds and trims! Nicely done.
Interesting how different your cards turned out using the same sentiment! Pretty!
Both cards are pretty, but I particularly like the liquid pearls you used on the second card.
I love the old fashioned look of the first card; love the plaid paper.
Both are so pretty, love the paper inside the oval, gorgeous, tfs
Great sketch and I love both cards. I need to remember to use that oval on the second card more often!
