I have seen so many unique and beautiful Christmas cards lately
that it’s gotten me in the mood to search for my family’s 2010 annual
greetings!
Here are the cards that I hand-crafted last year.
I always say – “Oh, I’ll just stamp a cute snowman, add some glitter and
ribbon – it’ll be easy!” Not!
I do love making my own cards but find that when I have to make
50 of the same card, it can get quite monotonous and expensive!
Along with the card, I always include a family photo…
one of my favorite things to receive from others at Christmastime :’)
Especially from friends & family who we only see through their annual
Christmas greetings.
It’s amazing how much kids grow in one year!
And how much gray hair we adults can accumulate – hee hee!

Here are a few of my favorite sites for inspiration in making cards:
Etsy
Splitcoast Stampers
Stamp TV
Two Peas in a Bucket
Twisted Chick Creations
Yesterday (thanks to a Twitter friend), I was introduced to an
ETSY store called Kottage on 5th Design Studios
and I instantly fell in love!!!
I do believe that I will be ordering one of these
beautifully designed cards soon!
Just as soon as I can gather up my family for that
“perfect” family picture – LOL!
Kottage on 5th Design Studio ~ Modern Damask Christmas or New Years
or maybe this one?
Kottage on 5th Design Studio ~ Sleek Damask Christmas/New Years
Can you tell that I’m really drawn to the Damask designs??
I will also be using a black & white photo as they did…
What do you think? Which design would you choose?

Thank you so much for inviting me to link up! I am afraid I don’t have any posts that fit this theme, but I will tell you I love the card with the B&W picture and the damask!
Thanks Sharyl!
I am working on my cards right now! I wish I had them ready to link up for this link party- I feel like a party pooper when I can’t participate!
Aww bummer! Well, if you finish one before Nov 4th, throw it into a post and link it up!
