Christmas Cards

Are any of y'all finished making your Christmas cards? I thought I was
ahead when I started mine in July, but have put them on the back burner so
many times that now I'm behind! Yikes!!! I'm using a retired Stampin' Up
set called "Curly Christmas". Not all are the same as that would make me
crazy, but I also don't make them all different because I can't think up
that many ideas. I am making about 20-25 of each design. This also helps
by allowing me to use up paper I have instead of buying all the same colors.

Connie K--I'm so glad to hear everything went well! My mother-in-law lost
her breast as well to Cancer. She was always in good spirits, I think that
really helped her get through everything--the good and the bad!

The Christmas cards--yes, I've started mine too! It's one of my weekend
projects. Keeps my mind occupied and out of trouble! :-)

Happy Stampin!

I've noted here before that I don't make Christmas cards; I did for two
or three years after I first started stamping but I finally decided that
mass production was Not My Thing (I also did a quick cost analysis,
using my current salary-per-hour plus cost of materials, and discovered
that my homemade cards were costing me approximately 4 times as much as
purchased ones.)

So now I buy cards (usually from one of the "good cause" organizations)
and hand-craft the gifts instead; stamping is usually involved.

(Now, don't ask me if I've started making - or even thinking about -
this year's gifts ... this may be the year everyone gets homemade
chocolate truffles...)

I haven't started, but I only make a few handmade cards -- around a
dozen. Not everybody appreciates a handmade card. Mine are works of art
but my mother thinks there is some stigma, like I couldn't afford a
store-bought one. So she'll get a Hallmark, and the hoardes of relatives
and acquaintances will get purchased cards, and my crafty friends will
get elegant handmade ones. Since I know the card is going to someone
who will appreciate it I feel free to spend time on it and go all-out,
which I enjoy.

Hi,
Nope I haven't started mine yet as I am dealing with a bumber crop of apples
and plums to process in some way or another. I will be using a small resting
wolf from Lasting Impressions with Panache as the main image and possibly a
chickadee from Current Critters. Have fun.
