Christmas Cards

A couple of weeks ago, I introduced you to my new best friends - my cute little letter stamps! You lot obviously know me well, as most of you guessed that I was making Christmas cards with them.

I've been having so much fun!  Dragging out my collection of pretty papers, finding my tiniest buttons, and seeking christmassy inspiration from staring lovingly at our beautiful Christmas tree and listening to my favourite carols.....  Can anyone think of a better way to spend a few wintery evenings?!?

Here are a few of my favourites cards, all packeted up and ready for their first showing (at the school Christmas Fair):









And here's a little peek at my stall at the fair:


What a brilliant success the Christmas Fair was!  The lovely (and VERY hard-working) ladies who organised the event did a truly amazing job.  It was such a fun and festive day - and I sold a fair few bits and pieces too (including an order for some cards)!

As I look out of the window right now, the snow's looking pretty deep, and it's not showing any signs of stopping yet.  So I'm feeling very christmassy at the moment!

I hope you're all getting on well with your Christmas preparations and are starting to get into the spirit of the season!

See you soon.....

Carly

  10. Gorgeous cards ... I especially like the button 'baubles' one :)

    I'd love some snow on the ground, all we seem to have in North Wales is mud!

  11. Fab cards. Glad you had some sales. Snow is mostly gone here. It became a snowman and a few snowballs and then it rained. . . Not looking forward to driving to the hospital tomorrow. :o)

  14. These cards are so pretty!
    I love letterwriting and sending cards but it's not as common here in Italy as it is in the UK or in America!
    Nice finding your blog!
