And thank you for a house full of people I love. Amen. ~Terri Guillemets

Snowflake Wonder ...

Brick: Isn't it amazing how each snowflake is different?

Sue: I know. It took me, like, three hours to cut out ten, and God has to do, like, fifty billion. You can't tell me that's not a miracle.

Good morning,

I finally went through a box of old Christmas cards I had from last Christmas as well as some a friend gave me and proceeded to repurpose into new Christmas cards.

I had planned to take pictures of the cards before I start dismantling them but totally spaced so I have no before pictures. I also didn’t keep great track of what I used on all the cards I made so it could be hit or miss there!

Today I am sharing 3 cards I got from one old Christmas card which had beautiful iridescent snowflakes on it. I had a old 6x6 paper pack from DCWV that had some iridenscent paper that work womderfully with the snowflakes pattern.

Supplies

Cardstock from The Paper Studio (Base)
Gold card stock from scrap bin
Iridescent White cardstock from DCWV
Ink from Stampin Up!
Sentiment from Stampin Up! (Wishing you Cheer)

Christmas Blessings ...

A man is known by the Christmas he keeps. ~"Poor Richard Junior's Philosophy," The Saturday Evening Post, 1904, George Horace Lorimer, editor

Good morning,

I finally went through a box of old Christmas cards I had from last Christmas as well as some a friend gave and proceeded to repurpose into new Christmas cards.

I had planned to take pictures of the cards before I start dismantling them but totally spaced so I have no before pictures. I also didn’t keep great track of what I used on all the cards I made so it could be hit or miss there!

This is pretty simple, I just trimmed off the card front, added a layer and attached to the card base.

Penguin love ...

I can understand people simply fleeing the mountainous effort Christmas has become... But there are always a few saving graces and finally they make up for all the bother and distress. ~May Sarton, 1971

Good morning, today I am sharing some more Christmas cards I made using some penguin stickers I received as a gift from someone and a layout from Sheetload of Cards by Call me Crafty Al…

These are so much cuter in person and the penguins are bright and glittery and I just wasn’t able to capture that in the photos. :O(

I also now noticed that I probably need to straighten out my penguins! LOL

• Cardstock from The Paper Studio (Base) and Stampin Up!
• Design Paper from Pebbles (Holly Jolly)
