Time for Christmas cards

I'm so late this year starting my Christmas cards so there is a chance they will be late. I'm working really hard to make them but still have to rest my hands. The pain has gone into my wrists now but not like carpal tunnel. If I rest it goes away.

In keeping with using my pattern paper (which I'm happy to say I have been doing) this is a paper with the trees and teeny birds. I added the die cut trees in silver glitter paper and little die cut red birds. The sentiment is SU embossed in Wow black twinkle glitter. 




Be kind to one another.

I am so impressed with you using your pattern paper...you must check out Kristina Warner's blog because one day she made all her cards out of just pattern paper and they were awesome! But I love what you did here with the background paper, and those lovely tress and of course the red birds! Take it easy on the hand, I had some tendonitis in my wrist also, got a shot and that has helped and I wear a brace at times also. Be safe! Heart Hugs, col

This is a great use of patterned paper, Brenda. I'm impressed how you added die cuts of trees and birds. Great idea and fantastic effect. I have to say, that we have snow too. If it has to be, should it be in December. :-)
Take care! Hugs, Sonja

I have to snicker at this fun card you've made - GMTA - I just started a card today with embossed trees and little red birds in them - I have to finish mine though LOL This is such a cute and fun card, and I like the die-cut trees in front of the white birches!
