Merry Christmas and Happy New Year



Good morning! Whether you are preparing for Christmas or doing other things, I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Each year I try to make Christmas cards for my mom and dad. I try to keep them fairly simple, flat and embellishments to a minimum so they will be mail-friendly. This year I made a photo card with a big "postage stamp" of Sabrina. Since I didn't have to stamp/color an image, these were pretty quick to make. Here are a couple of different versions I made.



Thanks so much for stopping by!
