Tonight I get to celebrate a Christmas party with my dear friends - I can't wait! A few weeks back we all got together for an artsy play day and we all designed a simple Christmas card for each other to make to build our stash before moving on to mixed media projects. What an incredibly fun day! Everyone in our group is so unbelievably creative and talented, and each person finished the cards her own way. Here's my version of Barbara's beautiful snowflake card. The snowflakes were cut from the inside of a Kleenex box! Who knew there was a silver lining to having a cold?! :) I added a SSS "autumn blessings" die cut, minus the "autumn" ha! I added this card to the current SSS Flickr challenge. Next, I made Madelyn's design exactly as she did because it was just perfect. She cut the trees from her Cricut. Bonnie gave each of us a different chipboard shape, which we covered with paper. I added a gold washi tape band and another die cut sentiment. What beautiful ribbon! I went the craziest with Carol's card and jazzed it up a lot more than maybe I should have, but I was delighted with every element. I embossed one of the bg papers with the TH tiny dots EF, added some reindeer washi and pom pom fringe. Some scrap greenery dies with a twine bow and bell. I used a chipboard Ornate Frame die sponged with DOX to frame my deer. Then I handwrote the little list. Perhaps you recognize the list from a famous carol. Last was my own card design, which the other girls switched up and made so much prettier by placing the sentiment at the bottom, then wrapping silver embroidery floss with a little bell. I just wanted to do something flat for mailing. This is a new HL stamp which I'm in love with! The paper is from Michael's last year. I love the subtle foil detail. Thanks for looking and I hope you are inspired to make a few simple cards yourself.

A Christmas history of our family...
The tradition of sending a Christmas card in the mail is slowly becoming a lost art. With the uprising of technology over the last few years, “snail mail” has lost it’s appeal to…
Happy New Year! Well, I am not a big fan of New Year’s resolutions, only because they seldom pan out, but this year I hope to make more of an effort to post on my blog more frequently. I sta…
Now that I have recovered from Scrap-Fest and a recent scrapbook retreat with my girlfriends, I'm getting excited about Christmas. Over the past couple of years I purchased some amazing Christmas papers. I liked some of them so well that I saved almost every scrap! (Am I seriously the only one who does this?) Well, I found the perfect way to use up those tiny pieces that some folks said were too small to be useful. (Bah hum-bug!!) This is the ultimate card for using up tiny scraps and it is stinkin' cute too! Enjoy! P.S. Did you know that you can click on any picture on my blog to enlarge it?
