On the crafting front, I have pretty much dedicated myself to Christmas crafting for the next three weeks (yes, Christmas is only three weeks away). As I was getting the decorations out of storage this weekend, I found some project supplies that I bought in the after Christmas sales last year - and can I just say that I was thinking very ambitiously a year ago, let's hope I can get it all done.
Today I would like to show you the first two cards in my Christmas Collection:
Card Base: Recollections; Patterned Paper: KI Memories; Cardstock: Bazzill; Quote Sticker: KI Memories; Adhesive: Scrapbook Adhesives
Card Base: Recollections; Patterned Paper: KI Memories; Cardstock: Bazzill; Quote Sticker: KI Memories; Adhesive: Scrapbook Adhesives
I made these cards using leftover paper scraps from Christmas layouts I did years ago. I love how this paper is a little non-traditional in terms of color, using hot pink rather than red. Very cool!
(Now, I need to admit something: every time I make a card using leftover paper scraps, I become more and more obsessive about keeping every scrap piece of paper - because I have seen what can be made from these scraps there is no way I can possibly throw them out. Does anyone else do this?)
So what about you, are you making your own Christmas cards this year? If you are, I would love to see what you have done - please link to your work in the comments.
And I hope you'll follow along all this month to see what else I add to my Christmas Collection.
These are so cute! I really like the non-traditional color scheme as well and the designs are really cute! Can't wait to see what else you'll be making this month.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sara. Pink makes everything fun, doesn't it?
