"Vintage Christmas"

Hello Everyone! This is my last post for 2011! It has been an amazing year, with a few bumps. But; all in all, it has been a wonderful year of learning! The cards that I am sharing today are from my "rush" Custom Card Order for my friend Becky. I made four of these all together, two of each! It was a real change of pace for me, NO COLORING... Can you believe that? It was fun to do some heat embossing again! I forgot how much I like that technique!  Wow... it almost a new year... Doesn't it seem like it went by fast? I am looking forward to the New Year and all the things that I will learn! I hope that y'all have a wonderful and safe New Year too! Okay... I won't keep you much longer! LOL!!!

"Teddy Bear Present"

Good Morning Everyone! This is the last card for my friend Carol's Custom Card Order! It was for a special little girl, Hannah who she made a baby quilt for last May! I also made her a Custom Card to go along with the quilt at that time! Hannah's first Christmas... I think her Mom loved this card! Since Carol does Custom Quilts... I hand stitched the front and the inside of this card, just for Carol! Isn't it adorable?
