Christmas 2017

I was getting ready to post my Christmas 2018 cards when I realized that I never posted last year's. Since the summer of 2017, I have held back a lot with card-making because I feel like I was in a very long creative block. But I'm sharing these now at least!

I made five cards, one each for my brother, my two sisters, my mom, and my boyfriend.





Thanks for looking, and have an awesome day! :)

Artsy bunny

I love this card, and so did my family when they saw it. I think the patterned paper matched so well to the stripe background on the main panel.


It is hard not to smile when you see the carrot masterpiece. This stamp set from Mama Elephant is just adorable.


The cutest part is probably the little legs sticking out of the bottom of one of the eggs. Love it!
