I did it!

Made my quota of cards - finished them today! I still feel as if I am on a roll and expect they will not be the last cards I make this year for Christmas.  I have cased a lot of them and some are just straight out of my own little head! All the cards made today were put onto various commercial blanks.

Here are some samples of some cards made today.  I ONLY have to insert the inners; write the Christmas letter; stamp the backs with my own stamp; write in the cards; put them into envelopes; create the stickers for the addresses and  put them on the correct envelopes and then......Hubby will post them for me! Wonder when I will get all  that done!!!!!

This is cased from one of the Waltzing Mouse team - no sure who - as I had the set but hadn't inked it all yet. SU card, scrap DP and Memento inks - Black and Grey, and stuff from my stash

I had three of these wooden deer - purchased in Melbourne last week - and was determined to use them.  A doily die cut, some DP from last year and ribbon, and Annabelle sparkles, and Prima flowers

Same ingredients except for the felt circle from my stash and the old leaf whcih had been laying around for a long time!

I still had a few of the flowers left over, so this is one created straight from scraps, a rub-on and a doily die cut.

A tag, a rub-on, a doily piece aged with Antique Linen ink

These cards were created using SU card, and DP, rub-ons, Copics for extra colour at times, and a star punched with a Fiskars punch into SU glitter paper.

What a fabulous set of Xmas cards! Love how you have used traditional colours but used modern designs! (my faves would have to be the last photo with that gorgeous striped paper)
