All my Christmas 2020 projects featuring Santa!
Okay friends, clearly your gal here did not clearly think things through when she said she wanted to photograph ALL her Christmas 2020 projects featuring Santa in one huge pic. Because it was hard. There were some dimensional stuff, some flat stuff and lots of cards. And even though she eventually got them all set up on the stairs, there was THE problem of her blocking the light source from the back causing a shadow on the projects.
Well, that was a long-winded way of telling you why the shot is at this weird angle. *LOL*
But the projects are done! And it's time to pack them up and send them out! Yay! *high fives all around*
Do you remember these projects? *winks*
Do you have a fave?
Happy weekend friends!:)

I kept it simple and postal-friendly of course.
Have you mailed out your Christmas cards? *winks*

Die-cuts on a Christmas card
These days I've been really gravitating towards die-cuts on projects because they add texture and interest without bulk. Which makes them much more postal friendly too...perfect for this year's Christmas cards. :)
Playing along with Sunday Stamps.
Happy weekend friends! :)

This week's paper scraps on a card
Well, the quest to finish up the patterned paper scraps in my multi-slot folder continues in 2018. Let's just say that the pile hasn't exactly dwindled by a lot despite my valiant attempts to use up those paper scraps. *lol*
Here is this week's paper scraps on a card. I'm working on my birthday card stash....flattish cards that are postal-friendly. :)
I even took the Glossy Accents out to play. *winks*

Monday
When I went "shopping" in my scrap pile...
So you know I've been trying to reorganize my scrap supplies...well, the process has been slow especially since I tend to get distracted,,, and go "shopping" in my scrap pile. *winks*
But these birds are soooooo cute. Would you not stop to make some cards with these cuties? *LOL*
I am happy that I mixed and matched quite a few pieces of patterned paper...
And I confess...I made 3 more cards with those cute birdies before I went back to my reorganization of scrap supplies. :)
Happy Monday friends!
