Christmas Cards

Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.

Its Christmas card time! Christmas  boxes are  down,  glitter is  out, snow in a bottle sits on the desk and poinsettia dies.  This year  I  have been determined to use my stash  of  papers and  Christmas  embellishments  ..

A  few  layers of  paper, lots of  glitter, some bling, bunches of poinsettias and one  card down (okay  I usually  make  two at a time - so two cards done) 

Winter Wishes, Snowflake Kisses

Hard at work like a little elf, getting my  Christmas cards done ... 
The  digi stamp from Shari Baldy are  just too cute and can  be  bought from her etsy store.  The papers are the new Magnolia Collection- Winter Wonderland which are  a  beautiful deep vintage  elegant tones and so easy to work with.  The  poinsettia are hand made and  I  use the  Cheery Lynn  design Poinsettia die cut - they were a perfect size for this card. 
The holly and the  laser cuts are  from Creative Embellishments - just  love love them .

Christmas magic is here
with your tree all aglow,
snowflakes are gently falling
and children sleding in the snow,
so Merry Christmas to you
with this card comes cheer,
we wish you all the happiness,
today and all next year.
