Day 12... almost time for leftovers!

I have had such a nice time sharing my Christmas cards with you. Thanks for the comments and emails (and fb messages)! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

Penultimate Day of Christmas Posts (aka day 11)!

I am just trying my best to stretch out all the xmasness! Here's some more holiday goodness for you!

Day 10!

Well, I just can't believe Christmas will be here next week. Here's a card for you :

I can't believe how confident I've gotten in my card making skills. Things that would have "scared" me this time last year are no longer around because, it's just paper. I wish I knew how to explain the significance of that statement. It's just paper. :)

I'm sure someone else out there knows what I mean. I can't believe I made it to this place where I can just play and play and if I don't like something later, it can go in the trash and it's ok. 

So I finished a little Christmas Mini for my scrappy best pal Theresa and she loved it. What do you think?

The 9th day of Christmas cards... but not in a row:(

Wow! I always think there's plenty of time to get everything done close to Christmas, but I always run short of time. It just hit me yesterday that it'll be here next week! Wow! I finished up an xmas gift in time to be delivered yesterday and that's why I didn't post yesterday's cards. I'll do the project later today when I get the photos edited. I can't wait for you to see it.

On with the cards:

I can also report that if you wish to save some time while you are making cards, go ahead and just work on the fronts. I cut all my background papers to fit over premade cards and decorated the way I wanted and then stuck them on the card for almost every card I made.  There were a few I pieced directly on the front, but the ones that I made separately from the base seemed to go much quicker. If you haven't done this yet this year, be sure to give yourself a timeout. You deserve it! Watch your favorite movie, or go see a new one. I LOVED Burlesque! Here's hoping that my Zumba will get me in SUCH good shape this year LOL! 

Hugs!

Day 8 2010 Christmas Cards, Trees away!

My photography skills for these cards is a little lax, but I wanted them finished and addressed so badly. They are just too cute if I do say so myself! For all of my rushing to get them done, I keep forgetting to acutall MAIL them LOL! It figures. I'm going to try sending them out today.

Seven Swans a Swimming, but not on my blog LOL!

Just so you know, this one is probably the least (traditional) Christmassy, but my favorite!

Ok, one week ago I started posting my cards, and I'm still going. How awesome is this??? I am so very happy you are all sharing with me! Hugs:

Day 6 of 2010 Cards

Happy Monday! It's really cold out there this morning. We had snow flurries yesterday but no accumulation but crossing my fingers for some more powder on Wednesday! At least there's really a feeling of Christmas outside weather-wise right now. It makes me go ick when it's 70 or so for the holidays. LOL! Hope you are all able to relax and not stress about the holiday. Here are today's cards:

That paper with those dots and dashes and scallops is my favorite! I need to go get a couple more pieces because it's so non theme specific.

That wavy corner piece was one of my favorite stickers. The tree was already on the "tag" that I cut from the tag sheet and that stamp is another one of T's stamps that was out of the packaging so I have no way to know who's it is. 

Thanks for stopping by, more tomorrow!
