Christmas Card 2009

Wow has it been a long time-two months since I have posted! My apologies, but I am hoping to do better in 2010-but it has been a slow start! To post, you have to have created something and that just hasn't been happening very often.

In honor of 2010, I did decide to brighten and update my blog look a bit. I hope to do a few more things to it, but a little at a time is what I need to do! I am losing any ambition I have and am ready to snuggle in my warm bed, so I will quit rambling and post my card creation. I hope to be back later this week!


Every year I try to incorporate a picture of my kids. This year I decided to do a tri-fold type card. They were pretty easy and it really didn't take me that long to do 50 of them except for the distressing on the front! That took forever and made a mess! It also helped that my 8 year old helped do the texturizing with the Big Shot. I wish I had gotten a picture, but alas, I did not think of it at the time. I was too focused on getting the cards done and out! (Maybe I will have to stage it for scrapbooking purposes!)

Sets: Serene Snowflake, All Holidays, Many Merry Messages
Cardstock: Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Whisper White
Ink: Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Sahara Sand
Accessories: Big Shot, Scalloped Square Die, Polka Dots Impression Folder, Melon Mambo Ribbon, Rhinestone Brads, Paper Piercer
