If you have arrived here from Shari you are in the right spot. If you want to start at the beginning then head to Mary's Blog. How fun is this anyways?! I always had so much fun making Christmas cards in the fall and early winter but who knew it was so much fun to make them all year long?! If you are new you might be wondering how this works.... there is a group of us crafters that have committed to creating two Christmas cards and (one die cut and one stamped image) posting them on the 25th each month. Here are the two cards I created this month...
