So now I will start posting the cards my sister and I made for Mom for Christmas to go in the card tin I showed you in the last post. Now I know I have mentioned that I go into hibernation mode right around Thanksgiving and don't emerge until around mid-to-late February (depending on weather, temperature, etc.). That means that what little creativity I have also goes on low voltage. The trouble with that is that I needed to make cards for Mom's gift. What to do?! Well, when all else fails - CASE! or at least be heavily inspired by others and make 'creating' that much easier. So that's what I did. I would love to say that the cards I did for my Mom's gift were all original designs, but alas, not true. :) Some I CASEd almost completely, some I changed a few things and some were an inspirational starting point. Without further ado, the first of Mom's cards...
The original of this card was so perfect to start with I really didn't change anything but one of the colors and used a Create-a-Brad in the center rather than the jumbo eyelet (cause I didn't have the jumbos yet!). The original card can be seen here. Ya gotta love cards that are quick, easy and gorgeous!!
