A Mini Christmas Wreath

Christmas will be coming soon. Yeah, there is still months until than, but it's always good to get started on the holiday cardmaking.

This is a mini wreath that I made by hand before adding ribbon, gold stars & twine.

Have you started your holiday cards yet? Do you make them early or wait until the last minute?

Strike A Pose, Reindeer

My new thing is dry embossing patterned paper. It adds so much more to it, including extra texture.

Unfortunately, the embossing is hard to see in this photo, but the cardstock (not the red) under the reindeers is embossed with snowflakes.

The charm is actually a tiny cookie cutter in the shape of a pine tree. Isn't that just charming? Ha!

Speaking of cookie cutters, do you make Christmas cookies during the season? What's your favorite?

D Is For Dogs

I am quite grateful that we don't greet each other this way!

A handshake, hug or simple "Hello" suits me just fine :)
