time for of holiday cards
November 3rd, 2009 -- Posted in pain / disability, pics, scrappy / stampy | Comments OffIt’s that time of year again – a couple of months that are always busy for me with all sorts of birthdays and gatherings and gift-making and greetings. I always love giving everything a personal touch, so in past years that has led to many home-made gifts and hand-made cards.
This year, I started my Christmas shopping and gifts early, so I already have a little pile started. I love onlne shopping these days since getting out and about can be so difficult and painful, so I’ve jumped at a couple of “free shipping” offers. By the way, I find this Canadian deals blog helpful as a way of finding out about special deals right away.
As for Christmas cards, I’m not planning on doing quite as many by hand this year but you never know… still haven’t settled on a final design, but I’ve done some playing around and this set of 4 cards was the result:
They were fun to make and included a few special embellishments and techniques (like embossing powder, white ink, and ribbon), but instead of keeping them I think I’ll put these 4 up for sale on my design site and keep trying to find the perfect look for my batch of holiday cards going out to close friends and family.
