Here are some cards I have made with the October KOM for 2013. Love all the holiday stamps, and the different looks that you can achieve.
Card one uses papers from the My Minds Eye Holly Jolly Collection. Love this paper! I also used an embellishment from American Craft, which I toned down with a little Distress ink. Coloring is done with Copics.
Card two uses the snowman from the Oct 2009 Stampin Store Kit, plus a sentiment from KOM Oct. The papers and diecuts are all from BoBunny! Add a few gems, and done!
Card three was created with a white base and the sweet Chickadee and sentiment from the Oct KOM was stamped and sponged with Pistachio, Memento ink. The papers are from MME Signature Christmas. I used Spellbinders and Martha Stewart dies and punches.
Okay, next is card four. More stamps from the Oct KOM 2013, more papers from MME Holly Jolly, and a few embellishments. I borrowed that cute smaller snowflake punch from my DD, and used my
Memory Box corner die for the very first time.
I am trying to make cards with low profiles, that are more postal friendly. Please be sure to visit all of the wonderful Unity stampers, who have posted their gorgeous work.

Mary Anne,
OMGosh these are just soooo cute, the jar, the snowman and the bird are my fav's. You are doing great my friend. I have maybe three of twenty done. LOL I hope to get more done this weekend if things quit breaking. Last weekend the furnace motor went out.
WOW!! You've been busy. These are all so beautiful for Christmas!
Mary Anne you've certainly been busy. Love all of your efforts.
Lovely cards, Mary Anne. The first one has such a nice vintage feel!
Life has a way of doing that sometimes - but glad you were able to pop back in today with so many wonderful cards. ALL are sensational - but my heart belongs to that first one! So cute with the peppermints in the jar. Just wonderful!!!

Mary Anne All your cards are lovely. I like the snowman and bird image.
These are four winners in my book. I love them all, but that snowman really wins it over for me. I love snowmen. Glad to see you back creating, but I totally understand when you just can't! I've been there.
wow, these are all super... I couldn't even pick a favorite
Wow, waht a group of cards! These are so pretty. I love that large jar!
All lovely cards. I know what you mean with busy...I've been absent from my blog too. If you can find where we can get more hours in our day...please let me know...smile...
Hope you have a great weekend.
Looks like you have been busy creating beautiful cards in your craft room!!
I hear you about Life getting in the way of card making & posting. I can make cards & post, or I can visit blogs & comments. Sometimes I get behind on all of it!!! Especially if we travel. You've been busy with these lovely cards, and each one is so very pretty. My fav would be the bird though (I'm a sucker for bird stamps!). Love the way you sponged the Pistachio around the image...really highlighted the stamping. TFS & Hugs. Hope you are not in the ice storm path, and that your power stays on. Be safe & warm.
Glad to see your post pop up! Beautiful card, my friend! I know what you mean about 'life'...sure gets in the way of our creativity sometimes! Lol...hugs!
