Every year I try to make my Christmas cards and I never seem to have enough time and the process becomes stressful and a chore rather than a labor of love. Soooooo, last year I sent out store bought cards and saved the ones I made last year to send out THIS year. Currently I am working on NEXT year's card. I know that seems a bit odd, but it sure takes the pressure off. If I don't get the cards done it's no big deal because I can work on them after Christmas, even into the new year. Stress kills ladies!!! Let's plan on living a long time :-). So here are the cards I sent out this year (I didn't make enough and some of you are not getting hand made, but I will make more this time for next time)
Used for this card: Snowflake Cuttlebug folder, Spellbinder's Oval nestie, Copic markers to color the lamppost stamp, Cranberry Stampin' Up ink for stamping Christmas Hugs.

This photo was oriented the correct way in photo program. I do not know why it sometimes does this sideways act upon transferring to blogger, but it does. Sorry about that. I've said it before, I don't know how to correct this. Would be nice if they had a way to rotate the photo after it's been downloaded.

Pretty! I don't stress over cards any more either. If I get them done that's great, but if I don't most people understand. I once joined a christmas card club where we made ten cards a month throughout the year. that was a great way to stay ahead of the game. I might do that this year!
Great idea, Shawna, and such lovely cards!
I think that's a great idea about doing the cards for next year and using the ones you didn't use last year, for this year!
I absolutely LOVE these cards! So clean and simple and just gorgeous!
