Tis the Season...

It's time for holiday cards. Initially, I was stumped for ideas until I perused through this year’s Paper Crafts Holiday Cards & More, Volume 4  and I got so many ideas. This card was inspired by Maren Benedict’s Think Snow Card, page 32. There’s something about using Kraft paper that’s raw and pure that it seems to fit for any occasion.



The next card idea came from perusing Paper Crafts November/December 2009 issue. As you can see, I used Kraft paper again…gotta love that organic touch. This card was inspired by Tanis Giesbrecht Merry & Bright Triopage 47. I really used some non-traditional colors (orange/white/gray) for the same layout. This one was made for a University of Tennessee (at Knoxville) fan. Even though they are odd colors, they kinda work in a weird way. Let me know what you think.

'til I craft again or have something to say...

WOW'za girl... these cards are fantastic!! I LOVE the non-traditional colors and I'm a BIG snowflake lover! :) So you have my "FULL" attention... with these adorable eye candy's!! I enjoy Kraft paper too. Organic is right... just something about what it gives to a card. I need to pick up a copy of Paper Crafts new Holiday Card magazine. On my list!

Have a super day... SMILES! :)
