Christmas Cards





Toward the top of my NY's Resolutions List will be better time management and organization!

I only managed to get a few Xmas cards out this year (oh the shame!), and still haven't begun on NY's cards for those friends I didnt' get an Xmas card to. :(

I am beginning to hear that the Christmas cards have made it to their intended recipients, so finally, here they are. I only managed 2 varieties - the Joyful Reindeer and the Saviour. I even ran short on ribbon and hardware for the Reindeer cards, so the one pic shows the variations.
I used Copics and Nesties on the Reindeer card (Amuse reindeer stamp), and SU! Watercolor Wonder Crayons on the Saviour card (SU! retired stamp set) with sparkle on the stars from a Gelly-Roll pen. Thanks to my new love - Tim Holtz's Design Ruler - my brads actually ended up properly spaced and aligned! Wonders never cease! LOL :D

Time management. Organization. Time management. Organization. My 2009 mantra!
TFL!

They're both fantastic, Catherine! I'm glad to say I am one of the lucky recipients of the reindeer card and I think it's adorable! Thanks again for being such a wonderful secret santa! You're the best!!!!

Happy New Year!

They're great!!! I didn't send too many either this year... time seemed to have crept up on me somehow.

Hope your holiday was nice and glad you received my little package. I can't wait to see what you do with them!!! Happy new year too and hope this year will be good to you!!

Oh I am so lucky to have gotten one! I love it and it's on my wall of fame in my craft room :)

And if you motivate me next year, I'll return the favor. Maybe we can get our cards done extra early! I did order my stamps already - LOL...
