Christmas Cards 2015, Part Two

Here we go!
I love these sweet angels by LOTV.  I chose to keep the design very simple.

Winter Wonderland
 I started this card last year, so I don't recall exactly how I created the texture.  I love this set, very different from what I usually would choose.  Very serene.

Polar Phil
 Poor ole Phil.  I did the background opposite of how it should be.  Darkest at the bottom and lightest at the top.  Oh well, he was too cute not to use.

Merry Christmas!


For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!" ~ Luke 2:11-14
 
Blessings to you and yours today and always.

Merry Christmas Eve!

I thought I would share a couple more of the cards that were made for the Caring Heart Card Drive.

I am fortunate enough to have lovely memories of Christmas Eve's past.
I always attended the Candlelight Christmas Eve Service with my parents, three older sisters and my little brother.  Aunts, Uncles and cousins were also there.  Afterwards, we would have a lovely get together at my cousin's house. As we grew older, married and had children of our own, the gathering took place at my parent's house.  

This year, I am really missing my mom and dad and my brother.  I cherish those wonderful memories and hold them close to my heart.

Scott and Me, Christmas 1970

A wonderful Christmas Eve to all of you and may you be blessed with beautiful moments to cherish now and in the future.

More Christmas Cards

These were sent to the Caring Hearts Card Drive also.  I really had a fun time making all these cards.  Maybe that's why I need a housekeeper!

Santa Series for Caring Heart Card Drive

I love making cards for a purpose.  These cards were donated to The Caring Heart Card Drive.  I had a fun time making all the cards just a little different.  My husband dubbed these cards, the "Santa Series".

Crafty Cardmakers and More Challenge - Snow!

The last challenge of the year for Crafty Cardmakers and More is Snow!  There will be
a prize associated with this Challenge.

I chose to use Barkley.  He is a such a cutie. I used Fun Flock for the fur on his hat.  The picture shows how well this worked for adding dimension and fun to his hat.

Lying in a Manger

It's getting closer!  Only 2 weeks until Christmas Eve.  It always goes too fast.  I love all the Hallmark movies and just about anything Christmas.

Most of my Christmas cards are made to donate.  This one is no exception.  It went to the Caring Hearts Card Drive.  Cards are collected and delivered to Nursing Homes.  I can't imagine the work that it takes to gather and distribute these cards.  Big kudos to all the wonderful ladies who give of their time.  I am not a fast card maker, but I did manage to make 35 cards and the envelopes that went with them.  It is a real privilege to do this.  I always wish I would have started sooner!

This beautiful stamp is by Unity Stamp Company.
