I have a few cards for your viewing enjoyment so grab that cup of peppermint cocoa and enjoy the show.
My next card I continued with the Chanukah Theme and made a card with the dreidel , a four-sided spinning top with a Hebrew letter on each side. It is used during Chanukah to play a popular children's game that involves spinning the dreidel and betting on which Hebrew letter will be showing when the dreidel stops spinning. The Dreidel, Star of David and Sentiment can be found on the Jewish Stamp Set #388. I kept this card simple using mostly the colors of the Israeli Flag, Blue for the water and White for the sky with Silver and Gold Detail Embossing Powder and Golden Sparkle Embossing Powder. I used an embossing folder for the back ground and Spellbinders Octagons along with Ribbon Tag Trio. Detailed instructions for this card are here.
You have to love those frogs, Moonlight Serenade here and he is singing. He is so into it that his lily pad has ice and snow on it. He borrowed his Santa hat from Santa Chimney. He is framed with Spellbinders Labels 13 and the sentiment is computer generated then cut with Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trio. Instructions on how to put this card together are here.
It is time now to refill your cocoa mug and .........

Wow Linda, you were a busy elf! Santa is happy with you. And what a great variety of cards. Can't choose just one that I like best. But I am a fan of your humor! Keep up the great work.
What a wonderful assortment of cards! I love the darling penguin on the island, so sweet and creative to make a little scene! Great embossing on everything too :)
As usual, Linda, I am charmed by the diversity of cards on your blog. The elegance of your Menorah Card with details in the glitter shading, the beauty of the Dreidel Card in classic colors, but my favorite is the OY VEY global warming card! LOL Always can expect irony and humor on your blog, and I look forward to it every time! :-) The serenading frog is a MAN, right? A woman would certainly notice the changes in weather and take appropriate steps LOL Thanks for the treat of your cards!
Your cards are all awesome! From the singing frog and roasting penguin to the beautiful embossed metallic swirls. Love all of them!
Thanks for sharing! :)
I always love seeing what you create, Linda, as it's always a treat! I love the way you did the menorah with the different colors of glitter! That is my favorite, but they are all so sensational!
Awesome cards and great selection!
You are very talented and diverse. I love all of your cards. Such detail and attention given to each one.
You're cards are so wonderful. But that frog card made me chuckle!! All of your cards are great.
Super collection of cards, Linda! Love all the sparkle and shine on the first two and the fun images on the other two. Wonderful cards and something for everyone!
I love the sparkle and shine on this one. The layout and creativity is awesome!
I love your cards.

Great collection! Love the elegance and shine on the first two. Third one is just too funny. Love the layout and big beautiful bow on the third. Really nice group.
Hee hee! Yep, loving the comical ones especially - that frog is just toadally rocking! Loved how you incorporated the different sets in the last two, and how you used the Jewish set. Great job! Shona
Loved all the detail in all of your cards. I especially like the metallic look in the first card. Well done!
Linda, what a pleasure to see Chanukah cards. But I must admit the frog card is a hoot and my fave! Thanks for sharing. Peg K.
Great cards. I absolutely LOVE the frog with the Santa hat!
On your first 2 cards the colors were great...made it stand out. Your "fun" cards are fun! The first one reminds me of the little penguin that ended up in Australia recently. Your last card .... always time to celebrate. All were neat!
Hi Linda, Thank you for the first Hanukah cards of the blog hop! I especially am in owe in front of the first one and the way you built the background to make it look like a mirror. Now, the last one is especially appropriate for us in southern California. Thank you so much for sharing and providing us with those wonderful ideas...
Enjoy your sense of humor. Love the metallic looks of your first card. Great cards.
Fantastic cards! The "Oy Vay" Penguin really appealed to my sense of humor... But the "Christmas Frog" is one of my Blog favorites. Thanks you so much.
Your Christmas Frog is the cutest I've seen in a long while. Never thought of using this one at Christmas. Thanks for the inspireition.
So glad to have ideas on Jewish Holiday cards. My Dentist is Jewish and I am always at a loss for his card. This is terrific. Your Penguin card is adorable. I love the singing frog. What great cards. Just wonderful.
Love the palm tree.
I enjoyed your humorous cards. Thanks for sharing with us.

What a great variety! Very talented! I love them! Oy vey made me giggle too!
Thanks for the sharing of the Jewish themed cards. My favorite though is the frog!
My spare bathroom is frog themed so you would know I loved that one the most.
All cards are wonderfully designed! And nice change of pace to see some Jewish themed as well!
I have never made a card for any of my Jewish friends, because I did not know what was appropriate. Not only are your cards beautiful, but they will serve as a model for my friends this year. It beats Season Greetings. Thank you.
From elegant to humorous you've got all the bases covered. Love them all!
Elegant cards
The card designs are versatile and will work for many holidays and events. Nice work! Linda Beyer
Wow! Great cards and I can see changing a sentiment or embellishment and using for other occasions. thanks so much for sharing.
All so different, but all so inspiring. Thanks for sharing your special gift with us.
Love all the cards, but there is something so clever and whimsical about the penquin by the palm tree and that jumping frog, that I'm still giggling over those two! TFS

Stop by my blog to check out my blog candy!
I particularly like your two Chanukah cards. I like the glitter on the menorah & the use of mirror cardstock on the first one, especially.
Excellent cards! I really love how you used the mirror card stock to show off the menorah and dreidel. But I'll be 'borrowing' your penguin/beach card to send to all my poor family who aren't lucky enough to live in Tampa!
fantastic...& such a great variety!...but of course coming from FL my favorite is the North Beach card!
What a nice variety of cards. Great job on them.
Candy Meyers
You did a wonderful job on all your cards. A very good variety.
I like them all
Great Chanukah cards. Love the metallic additions.
Linda, they are all lovely, but I do so love that frog!! I don't want to think about snow yet..I still need to send you my photos from December. :)
