You may recall a few posts ago, that I was a presenter at a Stampin' Up! regional convention in Kansas City, MO a couple of weekends ago. It was a GREAT time. Of course, I was very nervous. But, once I got going, it went all right. You might remember – we were given 5 minutes – and I took 9. yikEs!
Well, you ask, what did I present? My topic was Creating Christmas Cards and incorporating pictures. I HaTe it when you say – "I am going to run my pics off at WalMart and send those to friends and family. Huh???? Why????? You know I am just joking with you, but in all honesty, Holiday cards are the BEST way to show people a hobby that you TRULY love. Last year *I* (*I* means: me, Tom, Sean, and Allison) spent one evening and created 75 cards. That was quite a task. I think that was before the days of blogging, so I don't have a picture of that. They had embossing, ribbon, and cardstock of course. And, I tucked a picture inside. My guess is it took longer to take a *good* picture than it did to make the cards.
This year, the picture is already taken. You will see it later.
I came up with a TON of samples of cards with pictures. I will show you the first ones today. you will see more as the weeks go along.



These cards are all really the same. The only differences are the colors used.
Stop back tomorrow. There will be details J.
