July CCC

The tree is so cute. How did you do the tree with all the designs. It looks like its one peice.

I made four christmas cards last night, and three more this morning... I'm having so much fun I might do some more tomorrow and get August out of the way early, but first I have a couple of cards to make for a swap.

I just counted up my christmas card stash and I have 32... so there's a fair way to go, but I'm getting there! Doing 5 or so a month is a lot more pleasant than trying to make 50 on December 1st, that's for sure!

They're in the 2008 crafts album, July xmas 1-5.

Turned out really nice. Love the stitching. Wish I did more of that.

Great cards Karen! You're putting some of us to shame, because you made yours with a broken hand! Lynne

Cathy, your card is awesome. I love that tree design! Great job.

Love your cards too Karen! Especially the second one with the 2 Santa heads. Is that 'Noel' a stamp or did you freehand that? It is very cute.

As for my cards, I sat down last night and started only to get halfway through 3 of them to realize I don't have any tape, or glue, or even glue dots. Because of the move, I don't have anything to keep my crafts together. *sigh* I was so disappointed. Oh well, I will have to wait until next month.

Good job everyone that got theirs finished!

Cathy,

Cute card...love the stitching.

Great cards, Karen........I really like the first one with the shinier words.

Thanks goodness it's not midnight yet. Sandy

> >Great cards Karen! You're putting some of us to shame, because you made >yours with a broken hand! > It's not 'broken' broken, just cracked... I can use it just fine, I just can't put any pressure on it by lifting/twisting/carrying heavy things etc. It was only really painful for a week.

Noel's a stamped image someone gave me...

>> >>Great cards Karen! You're putting some of us to shame, because you made >>yours with a broken hand! >>

I'm really glad to hear that the pain is gone. Broken bones can be tricky that way.

Thanks Shannon. I used a stamp on the patterned paper and then cut them out. I was inspired by some cards over at Two Peas done by Jennifer McGuire.

I like your cards Karen. It is a nice feeling to have quite a few finished.

Thanks Lynne. I would probably do more sewing on cards and layouts if I would get my sewing machine fixed. I always forget about stitching on cards.

Thanks Crystal. Isn't it frustrating when you don't have all the supplies you need?

CathyR

Thanks Kenda.

Thanks Sandy.

Cathy I love that tree you used! I should try to do more stitching. I have a sewing machine,,just no where to keep it set up and I dont want to drag it out just for a card or LO.. I have one of those little white sewing machine things..what a joke..I hate it and wish I had never bought it! LOL

Karen congrats on getting so many done! I like the one with the two Santas on it!

Linda

I like it a lot Cathy! What a great idea with the patterned paper! I wish I had such a steady hand for cutting.

They look good, Karen. I like the white one with the Christmas tree the most. Glad to hear your hand are healing.
