Tis the Season for Christmas Cards!

Sunday, November 2, 2008

Halloween is officially over and that means it's time to start thinking about Christmas! I was chatting on the phone with my mom this morning and we decided we should get started today on our Christmas Cards, and what better way to get started than to make some together! So I made the hour and a half trip back home for a fun afternoon of stamping and cropping with my mom, resulting in my first 4 Christmas Cards of the year!

It worked out really well, not only did I get to spend time with my mom, we also got to share all of our stamps and stash, so it really opened up the window of creativity to include things I wouldn't have been able to use on my own.

This was a good start and now I'm really excited to keep going and get about 15- 20 cards made this year to send out! There's my goal, in writing, let's see if I can do it!
