Christmas Card 2010

This is the Christmas card I made for this year to send to family and a few friends. Utilizing large white blank 6 1/2 X 5 cards (Halcraft) I had a lot of fun using many different techniques. I used Provocraft Gypsy, Baby Bug Cricut, Expression and Cuttlebug machines. The small ornamental figures used on the inside of the cards were actually cut last year using the Gypsy and Baby Bug. With all my travelling last year I didn't have time to make cards, so I decided to use them this year.
