Christ Is Born

Thanks for all the Anniversary wishes.  We had a nice and relaxed weekend.  I even got to take a nap on our anniversary.  My hubby is awesome!  He knows I love naps.

Guess what?  I have all my Christmas cards made.  YES!  This is the earliest I have ever been done.  Ah, what a good feeling!  When I went to an all day crop with my sister a couple weekends ago, I made 20 of my Bethlehem brayer cards.  Whew!  That took all day.  I am not one that likes to mass produce a card, but I love the way they turned out.

I was going to make 20 of the snow scene cards I posted a couple of weeks ago, but I just don't have the time.  I cut all the materials for that card, so I had to think of what I could make to use the mats and photo corners I already cut.  I remembered the card I loved on page 42 of the 2010 Idea Book and Catalog with the set Christ Is Born.  It was perfect for the materials I already had, so I made a similar card.  I love it!
