Greetings! December 31st

Can you believe it? It’s the last day of the year! This is the last “greetings” post from the designers at the Card a Day Blog for 2011. Tomorrow will be a day of rest (for us all, I’m sure), and then we will be right back at having fun, bringing you a daily inspiration for card making!

What a wonderful way to end our break, with a reminder of how much laughter and joy we have had!
Remember, in two days we return to our daily card making inspirations! We are so glad you have made us part of your “internet” card making family!

Greetings! December 30th

When I saw Jan Bryson’s photo, I smiled. I have some favorite ornaments that I take pictures of every year!

Here is the story behind the picture of her ornament!

My parents have a tradition that we have carried over to our marriage.  Their first Christmas together as a married couple they bought (or received as a gift, not sure) a pair of stuffed animal puppies with Christmas hats on.  Every year they go under the tree (even today) and keep watch over the presents.  I loved those Christmas Puppies when I was a kid.  It made me feel so connected to the past.  Victor and I also have a pair of Christmas Puppies that go under our tree. I think they were from Hallmark. They have little magnets in their noses that make them kiss. Awwwwwww.... Whenever I see them, I think of my parents and the Christmases of my childhood.  In our house, the doggies have to hang out up on the tree with the ornaments.  That way they don't get eaten by our actual dog, AKA The Christmas Bandit.

Jan also sent in a wonderful word art inspiration for us! I can see using it as a bookmark, or along the edge of a card! Thanks Jan!!!!

Come back tomorrow for another designer’s tree and sentiment! And remember, we will be returning January 2nd, 2012 with more daily card making ideas!

From Patricia:

“  This is a picture of a tree from my parent’s house.   I love helping her.  As you can see, the tree was full of goodies.”   I love being with family this time of year.”

Warm Holiday Wishes from Shirley Ross! What a neat idea to have a CD label protect and be a “frame” for some sweet pictures!
