Happy Birthday During the Holidays!

It is the holiday season and birthdays still occur.  There is an upside and downside to having a birthday during the holiday season.  The downside is sometimes we feel pressured to not let the birthday girl or boy feel cheated that they are getting less of a present because of the holiday spending spree we all do.  The upside, is for those of us that want them to still feel special and not cheated, is there are lots of new toys and gift choices that are not available the rest of the year.  Here is a great birthday card that has all the bells and whistles created by Debbie Kuhs a very talented lady.  I for one would not feel cheated getting this card for my birthday! Enjoy, and have a great day on purpose!

Just Dreaming

Good afternoon, hopefully you  have dressed warmly for today's weather, and even if I do not care for the weather, I have a lot to be thankful for.  As I create my Christmas cards, I reflect on the friendships and the wonderful memories, I have with the recipients of my cards.  This gives me additional thoughts to place on the cards to give it that personal touch.  Today's stamp was created by Pam Lewers.  The Snowhaven paper pack, shimmer trim and Artiste Cricut cartridge was used on this card.  I hope you enjoy this card and have a great day on purpose!

Noel

Do you send homemade Christmas cards to family and friends, or to special people that you know appreciates you sharing your creativity.  I love to send out handmade cards.  Sometimes you don't really know how much people appreciate your cards until there is the year you don't have time to send them out and they ask, "what happened this year?  I always love getting your cards."
