25 Days of Christmas!

Nearing the end of October, I got a sinking feeling that I wouldn't be able to make Christmas cards this year.

As you know, my craft supply is very limited and 90% of it is in storage.  The 10% I do have available is mostly for smashbooks and layouts, and an entirely different season.

I kinda stopped crafting for a few months, to focus on bible study and family time.  But I started to catch the itch again after seeing all the Christmas decor show up in stores.

After a heartfelt conversation with my husband, I decided I would challenge myself and only make very Clean & Simple Christmas cards.  Because my copic markers were lost somewhere in our storage unit, and couldn't be found.

[incidentally, later, hubby went back without me and found my box of copics; he knew it would help with my PMS... lol - so you just might see some copic colored simple cards too!]

Anyhow, I attempted this CAS Cardmaking series last year, and it was a success.  So it couldn't be that difficult, right?

Wrong.

I didn't have a lot of the items I used to take for granted.  A glue gun, spring-cut scissors, heat tool, embossing supplies, Christmas stamps and paper, or even cards & envelopes.

So for the past 2 months I have been S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G..  I don't have every SINGLE item that I'd love to use, but I have enough to create, share and inspire you with simple, elegant, clean and fun Christmas cards.  Not to mention some things I got for my December Daily... because God Forbid I don't document my FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR!

I hope you're as excited as I am about these next 25 Christmas cards.  And if you recognize any of them from Instagram, then let me just say THANK YOU for following me on social media.  I really appreciate the love.


Here's a sneak peak of some of what's to come...

Join me soon for Day 1.

And remember, JESUS is the reason for the season!
