During the weekend before Christmas I was frantically putting the house in order for my son's homecoming, decorating the tree, and making cards to fulfill my own list. During one long evening I completed 30 cards! The sketches were simple and usually laid out as I worked. The images were a variety of Whiff of Joy and Sarah Kay. I also had some beautiful vintage images from Dover Publications. With Cuttlebug, Nestabilities, ribbons, and embellies I cranked out a variety of lovely cards. Most were easily mailed; others, well, let's just say I kept the US Postal Service in business for another week or so.
This year's crop of Christmas cards was, by far, my favorite. So many wonderful images to color; glorious designer papers; amazing ribbons; and inspiring sketches. I have decided not to put my Christmas card supplies away, but to keep making cards throughout the year. I made close to 250 cards this year and I'm hoping to surpass that next year. Guess I'd better get busy, huh?
To all my wonderful blogging friends, thank you for your inspiration and encouragement. Happy New Year to you all!
Hugs,
