My 2008 Christmas Card




Happy Snowy Day! We have a mot of snow now. Don't you just LOVE the sound of crunching snow beneath your feet? (OK I am a little weird...alright really weird.)
Today my post features my 2008 Christmas card. Last year, it was emboss city and this year I went:
a. cheap
b. simple
c. circular

I used Basic Grey papers(of course) along with the HUMUNGO punches from Marvy. A little ribbon and Cuttlebuggin' and TADA!
Now, the inside is my favorite to design. This year, I went for the pocket/tag with Paige's (my daughter) nativity drawing. I also included a verse Luke 2:11 on the outside of the pocket. OK that ended up at the top of my post...ooops. Finally, instead of a long Christmas letter I used a circular text in Word art to highlight the year's best. (Meeting the New Kids on the Block made the list! That was not my husband's idea.) I then added the kids in the center with a photo. Paige wasn't too thrilled with the picture choice...notice the missing front teeth...how adorable! OK that too ended up in a crazy place..you get the picture.
Enjoy!

Christmas Bruch Invites


Happy Day! I am feeling so much better today! Everyone in my house has had ear infections and such but yesterday I had some type of flu bug! NASTY! Anyhow...
My post today features my Christmas Brunch invites. Each year, my family hosts a BBQ in the summer and a brunch in the winter. I pull out the fancy dishes and make "pretty" food for all.
The invites showcase Basic Grey paper and some stamps from Hero Arts. I used my Copics for the coloring. The side of the invites have eyelets (which I rarely use) and paper ribbon from Making Memories..I don't even think you can buy it anymore. Stay well...ENJOY!
