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

One of my favorite ornaments is a nutcracker! Today’s greeting is from Cindy Foster:
Every year my husband gets me a nutcracker for Christmas.  We’ve been married 27 years so I have a small collection of them. 
Below her picture of the Snowman Nutcracker is a title that may suit a scrapbook page for you! Thanks Cindy!

Shelley Bordeleau from Gardens Crafts ‘n’ More is the fourth entry of our Christmas break… Here is a bit about it:


Every Christmas, time seems to go faster and faster! This year, a co-worker volunteered me to help her decorate the staff Christmas tree! I think you’ll like how it turned out. It is simply silver garland that has a Christmas train I printed and cut out with our names on the Santa car, and white snowflakes.  At a distance, it looks like a frosty tree! After making it, I can see why some people like doing “themed” colors on their trees at Christmastime… so different from my multicolored one at home! I hope you like the bit of word art I made… it reflects what I feel about the season

Our next Christmas greeting is from Cindy of the Creative Pointe! I’m sure her mug will make you smile!
Here’s the story on her mug!
My picture isn't of my tree. It's of a little santa mug my Grandma gave to me 40 years ago. I LOVE it and put it out every Christmas. This year I found the replica set over at Pottery Barn and bought it plus the matching cookie jar!

Christmas is such a fun time of year, for everyone, including our pets!
When Michelle Hessler of Paperthreads sent in her Christmas Tree picture, I had a chuckle when I opened it up to see the expression on her dog’s face.  The phrase just goes so well with the picture! Sometimes I think it’s a good thing that we don’t know what the four legged members of our families are actually thinking!

The note from Michelle that came with the picture:
"I know…it’s not a serious saying or anything….but I had the kids go through the pictures, and this is what they came up with. Our dog pictured here was named Riggs, and this was to be our last Christmas with him. The kids still cherish any pictures of him, and he was always such a poser!"

Greetings!

It has been such a wonderful time for us to share our ideas for cards with you! It is time now for a break, so we all can enjoy the holiday season with friends and family. We will be returning with more card ideas January 2nd, 2012, but until then, we’d like to invite you to come back and see some pictures of our Christmas with word art. There will be a daily post, excluding Christmas Day, Boxing Day and January 1st.
Enjoy!

Our very first Christmas break post is from Chris Durnan:

One of my favorite Christmas decoration is this barbwire Christmas tree. My
hubby and I got it at a charity event for TROT, an organization that helps
many people, disabled and vets,  through horses. One of my passions in life
are horses.  We had a fantastic evening and I think of it and the charity
and their work whenever I get the tree out of the storage every year. And
for more on the story of why the nativity scene is all a mess. I posted this
pic on my blog in 2008
<http://visualdesignsbychris.blogspot.com/2008/12/couches-twisters-and-negotiations.html> .
We had a twister in the house.
I want to wish everyone a happy holidays. I, also, hope everyone's new year
is filled with happiness, adventure and to love your life.  May one blessing
every day in 2012 fill you with happiness.

Enjoy!

Christmas Thank You Card

Wow what a December it has been and lots of inspiration from all the designers. I'm your designer for the day ant the theme is Christmas thank you card, now myself I would never even considered a thank you card until I joined in with CADB and seen as a theme and thought yea why not. So I get the blessing this year of not hosting my family this Christmas but my Sister-In-Law is so I decided to make this card and then send it to her and my brother after the holiday for hosting this year and maybe start another tradition. So here is the card

If you would like to know the ins and outs of this card stop by my blog at Tina's Scrap Corner and I'll have all the details.
Shelley Bordeleau of Gardens Crafts 'n More has something special coming up for our holiday break so please come back and see what she's doing, I think you like it.


Don't forget about the challenge it will be going on the rest on the month.

Wish, Believe, Celebrate

Merry Christmas everyone! Here is a card I made to send off to someone I know who is collecting items for a retirement home that she is sponsoring.

This card was relatively quick and easy to make. A good one to make if you need several duplicates of one card. The papers where from the Die Cut With A View 2010 Christmas Combo 180 Stack. The buttons are the Peppermint Buttons, from Oriental Trading Company. I just love these buttons, they are so cute.
