Last 2 holiday cards of 2012

Hi Crafty Pals,

My last two holiday cards are for my lovely boys. We usually exchange cards on Christmas Eve, but as I wanted to put up the post today we did it a day early.

Make a mitten - holiday cards at last

Hi Crafty Pals,

Well those who know me have an idea how good a procrastinator I am, but when the last posting date looms even I have to get into gear. I love creating, but sometimes other things get in the way so I have to put crafting plans on hold.

I'm a big fan of batching cards (making lots the same) so to make it easy, but still looking good I decided to use the Mitten Builder punch from the 2012 Holiday Catalogue and the Make Mitten stamp set.

I think they work really well with the Snow Festival Designer Series Paper especially the side which looks a bit like a sweater pattern.
