12 Days of Christmas Cards: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS and a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!


Here is a collection of cards to celebrate the day, courtesy of Janet Marks.



Thank your friendship and business this year.
It has been a joy to create for you, communicate back and forth with you,
and encourage you in your daily journey on this Earth.
My heartfelt prayer for you this Christmas is that as you walk along,
you are deeply aware of the Lord's presence and that
you come to know more and more how extremely much He loves you.
That's why He came that first Christmas . . . He loves YOU!
Many blessings to you in 2014 - I'm looking forward to it!

12 Days of Christmas Cards: DAY 12

Are you getting ready for Christmas?  Are your days as busy as mine are?  It's that wonderful, crazy time of year when I try to do three times the usual amount of things and still stay . . . peaceful?!  Yes, amidst the hustle and bustle there IS peace - if I stay still long enough to sense it.

I've also realized I've posted a lot of special deals for you lately - but not any card ideas!  So here is my Christmas gift to you . . . 12 days of card ideas to inspire your last-minute creations.  For the next 12 days, I will count down to Christmas with at least one card every day - and maybe some special deals thrown in for good measure!  Enjoy.


This is a card we made at a recent CLOclub Card Class.  Love how easy this was to do with Washi Tape!


 The punched pieces were popped up with Dimensionals, and the thread was tied around the top layer only.
