Mail Day

This is the mail pile I had going last week. I thought it was fun staging for my Christmas card. I mailed out around 63 and then hand delivered about another 12 cards. I love making my cards, but I am also soooo relieved when they are done and out the door! Here is a close up of the card. It was nice and simple to put together. Quite a few steps to put it all together, but it was nothing tedious, like coloring or embossing. I think the top note die is just the right touch! Keep scrolling down and I added a picture of what the inside of the card looks like. I always include a picture of the boys in my card and I do nothing fancy to attach it. I simply cut down the 4x6 picture and adhere it to the inside flap of the card. I do use a repositionable adhesive, so it can be removed from the card if need be. Happy Monday!

Hugs, Lisa

Last of my swaps

September was a busy swap month with the new catty and Holiday mini coming out right on top of each other. I love swapping so I had fun with all the cards I had to make. I think I told you all before I ended up doing 5 different swaps between all three of my groups. The last one to go out was for the GSG girls! I used A Cardinal Christmas for this swap. This card is similar to the one that I will use for my own personal Christmas cards. It has a lot of my favorites on it, including the top note die, the Alpine striped ribbon, a scallop circle and some dsp (this is the artichoke patters dsp from the hostess pack sampler). I just adore the sentiment included in this set. I hope to have lot of Stampin' Up! stuff to share with you soon. My goal this weekend is to use SUO-stampin' up only! Happy Friday! Hugs,
