11 Days Until Christmas

This year I decided to send my two Nephews Ryland and Aydin their own Christmas cards but they had to be different then the other cards I sent out to everyone so I came up with the Reindeer and Raccoon you see below, I was really happy with these cards and they look so cute.   

The Monkey card came about because my Sister-In-Law really likes Monkeys so I decided to make her a card with the monkey.  Now none of my Christmas Cricut Cartridges have a Monkey on them so I have to combine my Paisley and Jolly Holidays Cartridge and the end result was exactly what I was hoping for.  They all were so cute I almost didn't want to give them up.

   

12 Days Until Christmas

Cards By Stacie-Lee Christmas Card 2010

    

Well December sure creped up on me this year and now look it's 12 days until Christmas.  Amongst all the hustle and bustle I was able to complete my Christmas cards this year and have sent them out.  Unlike most people who spend a lot of time writing in them I am the polar opposite I spend a long time designing and making them, then very little time writing in them.  

  This year I decided to use my Cricut to help me out boy did it make things go a lot faster then my old method of cutting everything out by hand with an Exacto Knife.
