Christmas Cards

I'm finally getting around to making Christmas cards after a very hectic move.  Who would have thought that a 45 mile move would be more chaotic than a move across the country?  My scrapbooking supplies are unpacked (who cares about the kithen supplies?) and I am busy making Christmas cards!  I will post more pics this weekend, but here is a sneak peek at one of my cards for my workshop this weekend.  It features my favorite Close to my Heart product at the moment, the Mistletoe papers.  I especially LOVE the New England Ivy music paper.  You can purchase the papers, embellishments, and inks at Close to my Heart.
