Hello everyone! I am popping in quickly with a bunch of Christmas cards I have made over the last 7 or so months. It's super hot here again; the high today was 93 degrees F. It's humid too, which makes it feel even hotter. All I can say is, thank you God for air conditioning!
Hopefully this batch of cards will make you feel cooler, if it's hot where you live too.

I usually shy away from such bright colors all together, but this panel of different Christmas patterned papers had a base for me to work with. All I had to do was add different collage elements (postage stamps, leaves, a star/snowflake, gems, and a postmark. It made the card really easy to make, and fun to do!

Yep, they helped to cool me off! These are all so pretty Colleen. I need to get going on my Christmas cards, I think I might have five made ~ GASP!
Wowza! What a gorgeous array of beautiful cards....and I recognize the one I received for Christmas!! And thank you for my birthday card as well...it's just as gorgeous!
Ahhhhhhhhh...I feel cooler already! Lovely cards all, Colleen. You are so good to be ahead in Christmas card making. I daresay, I'm working on some myself. They do seem to keep me cool, looking at that snow and all. These are all lovely, and as always, it's hard to choose a fav, but I'll choose your bright collage card! It's a different look for you, but I like it very much! We're having hot weather here, too, 31°C (apx. 92°F), but we don't have air conditioning. We've got the fans going, though, believe me. Big hugs!
Colleen, these are all so beautiful! As I was scrolling through I kept ooohing and ahhhing. I think my favorite is the one with the green lace and snowflakes, sigh.
