It's Christmas Card Day!


It's Christmas Card Day at my house today! I started making cards a few days ago...worked (with an unusual amount of diligence) at the crop Friday evening and finished up today. And I used items I had on hand, instead of buying more...that's an accomplishment in itself! I got over the need to have them be exactly alike and made 6 sets of 6 designs. I sometimes forget how much I love making cards!
I found the sentiment on the liner notes of this Christmas CD made by some musicians at church. It's called "Your King has Come!" and I love it! (www.detunedradio.com) It's a little bit traditional and little bit folk...
It says:
The righteous has come for the unrighteous.
The innocent has come for the guilty.
The Son of God has come to gather a people unto Himself
From every race, tribe and tongue.
The doors of heaven are open and inside it looks like an ordinary stable with a tiny baby inside.
Oh come
Let us adore Him,
Christ, the Lord.
We also got the tree up today and enjoyed decorating. It was a great day!
Happy Sunday!

Girl! That is one of the most beautiful handmade Christmas cards I have ever seen. Seriously.

Now...I want to see the other five designs!!!

Caroline saw your card and said, "is that scrapbooking? She must have read the Christmas story!" She liked it too. :)

This one looks great too! I like the diagonal plaid with the circles - great job to use up instead of buy more. I finished 3 more pages over the weekend too. I'm getting a bit faster with the QK the more practice I have!
