I LOVE making and sending Christmas cards, no I really do!
 |
| I fell in LOVE with this window frame die this year... |
 |
| This is my Dr. Seuss Christmas Tree using a Quickutz die |
I start in the summer when I am camping (yup! I can craft in my
trailer... GRIN) We head out for a week of camping in May and I start
making cards... I have so many ideas and so much product that once the momentum starts I cannot stop it. This year since I have had more free time on my hands than I have ever had I made (and sent) 120 cards (and still counting)!

| I Also LOVE to fussy cut... hence the pine branches |
It has gone out of fashion - sending Christmas cards - although people still love receiving them. But as people's Christmas lists grow to gargantuan proportions this it the one task that is easy to cut - and I do understand the pointlessness of scribbling your name on the bottom of a stock card just to say you sent one - but for me my Christmas cards are a labor of love.

| I used some none-traditional paper for this card...Susan K. Weckesser's Live, Dream, Create line... lovely isn't it! |
 |
| This card was created from three unrelated stamps by different companies... I think cats are HILARIOUS! |
I don't make them in expectation of receiving anything in return, or in competition with all the other "Type A's" out there (grin), but I make them as a gift that I give to my friends and family and people who have touched my life in the past year.... it is gift of time and love and each card is unique and individual, just like the people I send them to.

 |
| You don't have to re-invent the wheel, I found this lovely Christmas tree image and popped it behind that window die... |
Now I have so many Cyber friends it would be impossible for me to send each and every one of you a card so I am posting a selection of some of my favorite cards for you to enjoy... And please feel free to copy or share any of my card ideas, but I would love if you remember to give ME the credit!
