December 2008: Holiday Cards - 11-30-2008, 11:51 PM


This assignment is for all of us who do our own holiday cards (and if you don't do them - maybe this will encourage you to do something, even if its for an eCard).

Let's see those Holiday Cards!

(Mine should be ready in a few days... still coordinating with the wife on choice.)

I do a craft called Parchment Craft (which involves embossing and painting on parchment paper) so this year I made the picture then designed the card.

Here's ours for this year. It's a 5x7 folded card, but the front is the only side with a photo.
