The Reason For The Season

Hi Blog Friends. Sometimes I think in all the hustle and bustle at this time of the year, and all the razzamatazz of presents and decorations etc, the true meaning of Christmas is forgotten. Maybe we need to step back and take a minute to reflect.

Some of my Christmas cards were quite simple, like this one. I computer generated the sentiment then used different colour ways, different dies and different shaped cards to make them all slightly different . A little cheating maybe but when you make so many you  do what you have to do to speed up the process.

We haven't had any more snow today but still have yesterdays lying on the ground and the roads are treacherous. No gritting on our country roads I'm afraid.

So keep warm everybody and have a good day. Christine xx

    I agree, the true meaning of Christmas definitely gets lost along the way.

  14. I totally agree christine. I have made a project due to be shown monday showing the true meaning of christmas. Your card sure shows what it is really about and also about family and loved ones not jsut money. Your card is stunning! I must apologise for not commenting as often as I can on your blog. I have been busy at home, personal life and with my DT Projects. I always get round to it but just wanted to apologise lol. Hugs xxx
