My Christmas Cards

I have had so many friends ask me if I was making my Christmas cards this year.  The answer to that is...well, I was planning to!

Time for a confession, I LOVE Snowmen!! I have 10 Snowmen that I put out every Christmas, not to mention all the snow men on my tree.  I still have some snowmen ornaments on my tree that my aunt made for me when I was a little girl.  My favorite Christmas cartoon was "Frosty the Snowman", and the close 2nd was How the Grinch Stole Christmas (that's a whole other story).  So, while surfing the net, I came across this ADORABLE Snowman card on Dawn's Stampin Studio Web-site http://dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com/dawns_stampin_studio/2013/10/pop-up-slider-christmas-card-video-.html


Snowman Slider closed Dawn has the best ideas and she even offers a video of instructions.  So I made a couple of these...and ran out of steam!! I thought to myself, there is NO WAY I will be able to make 30 of these!!  WHAT TO DO!!

Well, we got snow 2 days last week here.  I left work early one day (schools were closed) and as I left my office, I was awestruck with the beauty of the snow on the trees..

I liked this so much, I went to Shutterfly and made a card using this photo (cropping out the hood of my car of course). So, I was still able to be creative and "make" my own cards.  I cheated a little, but I think I'm going to love the finished product!!
