Merry Christmas!

 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7

It is almost that time!  Our tree is trimmed, our greenery hung, and cookies and bread baked, candy mix mixed!  The manger scene is out.  Family arriving soon, in groups.  Christmas Eve service, then a run to the airport and at least some of us will be together for Christmas.    

I thought I would post to my blog to wish all my followers a very Merry Christmas full of Hope, peace, joy and love.

Here are some last-minute Christmas cards I made with Sande Woodson's digitals and assorted gifted die cut sentiments.  I embossed the 110lb Recollections bases with a star embossing folder and layered the image panels on gold before adhering to the base.

Sande Woodson aka Sande's Poema designs and generously gives these beautiful digitals away for free.  You just must subscribe to her newsletter, here.  

I think this is my favorite:

52 cards have been made and sent or hand delivered.  I still have some to do. In years past I have given out as many as 70, but our list is sadly diminishing.  Some friends and family have passed even in 2025. 

Above is my ticket to the tea party over at Altered Book Lover hosted graciously by Bleubeard and Elizabeth.  Go on over and join TSFT.

Thank you for stopping by and again, Merry Christmas!

T Stands for December

 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7

Hello December!  Can you believe we are into the last month of the year?  I can't!  I suddenly realize I have only 30 some Christmas cards made of the over 60 I need!  At least I got my international cards mailed Saturday.  So, I am planning this blog on the fly as today got away from me.  I didn’t get this done!  

So, I am back today, to post my layout for Art Journal Journey, and also for the 3 in a Row & Number Mix Challenges on A Cherry on Top. The "other" Sharon has posted out theme this month at AJJ as Winter Theme.  I am documenting our first snow on December 1st on this 12x12 scrap page.  I used two different snowflake punches.  I used Stamperia Blue Winter paper and Stories Simple Fresh Snow ephemera.  Thank you, Sharon, for the perfect theme!

I don’t know if I can link to TSFT or not but will try.  Do you see my ticket on my scrap page?

Have a great week!  Thanks for stopping by.  See you next time.
