Some are mailed

And some are not as yet. I'm feverishly working on getting my cards in the mail. Still have some to make too. For those of you that may have some arthritis in your fingers or hands will know what I mean here, I can't write for to long at a time so I have to pace myself doing a little each day.

This card is made with more pattern paper and a stamp set from Stampin' Up. I shaded the milk can and added a topper of Christmas on it. Copics were used to color.  My pattern paper stash doesn't look like it has been touched!

Got to get busy!



Be kind to one another.

Another CUTE and PRETTY card! Love that old milk can. The patterned paper looks great. I have a stash of it too and figure it'll last at least for 100 more years.

Cute idea to put candy canes in the milk jug. Great job of shading. Don't we all have that huge stash of paper. Every January i vow to use up a bunch before buying more. That resolve flies right out the window.

Brenda, this is so adorable with that pattern paper and your milk jug. My cards are just going out in the mail today. Merry Christmas to you my friend.

Brenda, I love your milk churn with the candy canes. I'm so behind with my cards, I think I will need to Say Happy new Year :)

Such a sweet Christmas card, Brenda! That is some mighty fine fussy cutting! No wonder you need to take breaks while writing. I'm working on writing out cards little by little - we'll get there!

Beautiful card, Brenda! Love the churn with the pretty candy canes! I'm still working on cards, too! I get it in my thumb at times and have to take a break! Take good care and Merry Christmas!!

I love your milk can filled with all those candy cane goodies. Great coloring on them. And, I have a few more to do as well but I ordered a die that I want to try and use with more of my pattern papers for really quick last minute ones. My fingers only can take so much too. But I think I got all the ones I wanted mailed done and off now. The rest I will use to give in person.

How adorable. And brava for using up more pattern paper even though it doesn’t seem like it. I sold off most of mine some years ago and still find some hiding away in my stash.

That's a great image for a Christmas card, and the patterned paper is perfect! I'll come help you use your stash if you come help me use mine :) Hoarders unite! LOL

Love this milk can with the Christmas treats topping it! Pretty patterned paper too. I think that PP multiplies!

Oh, wow, this one is my new fav, Brenda! I love the milk can with your shading and the sweet candy canes, stars, and fun stitching! It's a perfect Christmas panel, small enough to let that cool pp shine!! Take it easy, my friend. It's always fun to get Christmas cards after wards, too!! Happy Holiday Hugs, Darnell

What a fun image & neat card, Brenda! I really need to use some of my printed paper--you're inspiring me!
