Great idea Mrsl. I have a load of old Christmas Cards and it's a bit daunting to think up so many different designs. Particularly as cost can be a factor, as I try to keep the costs down for any embellishments. Looking forward to seeing your cards and any others that may turn up here.

TickTock here are a few I made this week, I hope to get better at it!!

Do you always make your own Christmas cards Scrabble? I used to do it years ago but it got too much and to be honest some people I sent them to really weren't that interested in whether they were handmade or not. So now I only send them to a very few friends who really want to receive the handmade ones and who understand the amount of work that goes into them. I mostly give them to fundraisers.

I will post more recycled cards when I have got them done.

Are there any other JTers who recycle Christmas cards? If so, please join in.

Christmas cards
 

I used to make loads of christmas for everyone I knew but now I only give handmade to those who appreciate them like yourself.
I stick to a simple design so its not too overwhelming.I realised when it wasn't fun anymore that I was making too many.
I love making my childrens birthday cards.Only last week I made a castle card for my 4yr old and of course Dora was on it too.
I always make things for the childrens teachers at christmas and end of school year because I know that they are appreciated.

Happy crafting
Scrabble

Hi
They are lovely Tick Tock and Mrsl, I hope you keep us informed about your craft fairs, I would love to attend.

A card I made last year.Hope this works because I'm trying to resize my photos and I don't really have a clue about it.

I can't believe that worked.Now I'm off to resize some more to show off!!
