Non-Traditional Christmas card

This is my second of two for my holiday card - pink and black theme - swap.

The top and bottom ornaments are raised. The middle ornament has a 3-D look with the middle portion crimped and also has a little gem stone on each side of the inside part of the ornament.

The inside reads: Christmas is love, with all the trimmings.

Non-Traditional Christmas card

The next 2 posts are for a Christmas swap I'm in. The theme for this month is Pink and Black and the requirement is 2 cards. The hostess thought this would challenge us. It did...at first. Once I had my idea it was smooth sailing till they were both completed. Even though I thought the color scheme was a little off for Christmas I have go admit, I really like how these turned out. I hope you like them too!

The inside bottom says: May your home be warm with Christmas cheer, and peace abide throughout the year.

Thank You Gems!

I made this for friends who had given me a night of much needed relaxation and shown me so much hospitality between a homemade dinner, movie and meeting wonderful friends of theirs.

The front says: Just had to write to say

As you might have noticed I like matching my envelopes to my cards in some form or another. So I did something different and embossed it! I think it turned out awesome! What do you think?

Happy Birthday!

I made this for a friend's birthday. She loves sunflowers. Hope there are enough on this for her! LOL

Coasters

Here is a set of coasters for someone who has a Bassett Hound. Thought they would make a nice birthday gift. What do you think?

They say: There is nothing better than to end a bad day in dog slobber

Coasters

These are coasters I made for a friend who had seen other coasters I had made and wanted a set - "with trees on them", so I came up this design.

I then matched a note card and envelope to go along with the coasters.

Coasters

This I sent off to an online friend that had won an online contest in a online group I belong to. I got to pick the prize this time around. I was glad to know she liked what I chose.

Again I made a matching note card and envelope to go along with them.

Holiday Tags

This was for another holiday card swap but the theme this time was actually "tags" rather than a card.

Merry Christmas

Hello friends,

I have been absent much too long. My deepest apologies - my life, let's say, has suddenly taken a different turn in life. I'm still trying to sort through things but I will try and get caught up here a little.

Here is a card I did for a Christmas swap. I really had fun with this one! Made extra for myself. With the way my life has changed and all the upcoming changes still to come, it's a good thing I've made extras for myself from the different swaps. I'll definitely have all my Christmas cards done when it will actually be time to send them out.
