Cards received



Top: from Sharon. The red bird is all sparkly with Stickles.
Middle: from Gwen (not an Inkstainer, alas) who hand draws her cards.
Bottom: from Deborah, also not an ISer. The ornaments are popped up.

This year I am displaying all our cards on the arch (does it count as an arch if it isn't curved?) between the dining room and the living room. I had to hold the camera at an odd angle, which is why the cards look as if they are bulging.

Christmas 2009




TADA! This year's cards. As usual, I had and awesome idea but when I tried to put it on paper . . . well, let's just say . . . NO. So I was looking through my box of cards that people have sent and saw a gorgeous card Holly had sent as part of an exchange. Resist technique. Ah, I said to myself, I can do this. And thus were the cards created. I used the Cuttlebug on some for a simple textured card with stamping only inside. But they are done and in the envelopes, ready to be mailed.
