Starting Early

I started making my Christmas cards really early last year.  I think I started in February.  Well, I was really good making one a week for about five months and then I got sidetracked.  I don't even remember what made me stop making them.  I decided to start even earlier this year with these two reindeers from DZ Doodles.  Diane has this first reindeer named Comical Reindeer 1 on sale for $2.50.  Wow!  That is a great price!

I was lucky again this week, when I visited Diane.  She gave me these two images already colored (prisma pencils) and asked me to make cards with them.  OH, YAY!  I can do that!  I haven't played with these yet and love the opportunity of making cards with premade images.  Quick and Easy!

See his hat!   I put liquid applique all over the top of the hat.  It reminds me of those big wool hats.  I loved how that turned out.

Same card design for this one.  He has a Santa hat instead.  Aren't these the cutest?
