Christmas cards

I only made 3 designs twice. The rest are all "originals". One of the designs isn't shown due to not wanting let someone in particular see their card. ;)







There are a variety of drawn, cut out and tiled designs.

Many recycled items have been used including the foil from chocolate bar wraps. It seems that I drew a lot more than anything else but it has become one of my new favortite things to do.

ENJOY!

Thanksgiving cards






I drew and colored in the tree, matted, a touch of ribbon and walah!















More drawing and coloring. I used special paper that has another color when torn. Used a punch for the corners.





















Trees and trunks cut by hand. Used "hand made" paper accent behind trees for "path'
















Of course there had to be a turkey. He is also cut by hand and assembled. The backgroud paper was a scrap that I thought went well with the color scheme.















More specialty papers used here. A bit of ribbon and the poem I wrote out on top.
