Happy Belated Birthday, Mary!!
I plan to skip the shopping all together this weekend, except to go to the tree farm to reserve a Christmas tree. I shopped early because now I can’t see my feet!!! (I’m due in a few weeks!). 🙂
Best wishes to you! Thanks for the card ideas!!

Hello are there any tutorials to be found for Ellen Smallwoods different fold card with the blue and the poinsettia on it
That’s so nice that you share as we get additional inspiration. I’m liking how folks are doing that poinsettia in blue. The pilgrim card is brilliant!
I, too, would love instructions for Ms. Smallwoods’s cards. All are lovely…I can figure out most of them. Thank you for sharing ideas and talen.
Happy Belated Birthday. The crafty Kadie Girl told us it was your BDay yesterday. Hope it was a good one!
Beautiful cards. Thanks for sharing them with us!
Hi Mary: Thank you for showing my card today, it’s always an honor to be in such amazing company!! All of this cards are lovely and I too would love the directions on how to make that fabulous gift card holder card.
Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend.
I shopped on Black Friday both online and in line!
I too would like directions for Ellen Smallwood’s red and white cards. I think it would be the perfect replacement for all those cheap photo cards. This card allows you to put a photo in the pocket.
Beautiful! thanks for sharing
By the way, I love your December banner to your blog!

Does Ellen Smallwood have a blog? I would love instructions for both of her cards! I think I basically understand the stand-up card with the poinsettia, but I would love to know how to make the card with the pocket for a gift card! I have a ton of gift cards to send!
I hope you had a fun birthday!
