More Xmas Cards

Inspired by my recent card workshop, I awoke at 6:30AM on a Sunday (who does that???) eager to pull out my card stuff. I haven't seen my stash since August, with my busy work, school, fitness and recently acquired writing schedules so it was nice find time to work on a few new ideas. It does help to have an occasion to focus on as well, so that's one good thing about the season.

I especially like the Santa Card!!

Christmas Card Workshop

Yesterday afternoon, my good friend Sandi hosted a Christmas Card-making Workshop at her house. She is a talented Close To My Heart consultant who graciously took the time to design eight beautiful cards for the attendees to make. In addition to the design, she also spent hours cutting out all the paper and card stock in various sizes to ensure we didn't have to do this step. Many thanks and appreciation goes out to Sandi for taking this on and inviting us into her home.

It was a fun afternoon spent with friends, some of whom I hadn't seen in quite some time. We chatted and told stories, catching up on each others' lives.

I made seven cards in total using four of the designs. I'm proud of my work this time as I made fewer mistakes and the cards all ended up looking quite nice!
