This is what I did last night as I was waiting patiently for my son to come home from college.
I saw the colors that Lesley chose over at the Merry Monday Challenge and I knew I wanted to play along again.
I don’t usually make many Christmas Cards, because for the past 26 years that has been my husband’s job.
A job that he loves…BTW. He is an artist for those of you that don’t know him and before I met him he
was making his own Christmas cards, and that tradition has continued. We give out about 175+ cards each year.
That number is not a joke…I promise! After Christmas I will make a post of a couple of my favorites!
Anyhoo, so this many Christmas cards is unusual for me, but I am really enjoying it!
Here are a few card details:
I used Swiss Dots and Victoria Cuttlebug Embossing folders.
The snowflake punch is MS.
Not overly happy with my ribbon, but wanted to tie in the brown from my pearls.
The very cool ornament shape is an Ellison Die from my school. Love it!
I am sure your tired of my Merry Christmas sentiment form Gina K…but it works well every time!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I am so Thankful for each and everyone of you, you make me smile each and every day!

175 Christmas cards? You’re lucky he does them. Yours is beautiful but I can’t imagine making that many of them.
November 29, 2013 at 2:21 pm
Yeah …we use to color them all…I finally convinced him to go to a print shop. It’s costly but worth it. The only reason why we give out so many, is because we work in the school system and when we switch schools everyone always says…”I will still get a Leppek original Christmas card won’t I.” so hence 175+. Thanks for commenting!

Wow, this is just stunning! I love the ornament die cut you used. It reminds me of the old German ornaments I used to see on my grandparents tree when I was younger. The pearls are gorgeous and I love how you tied everything in together.

Thanks Christy….that is exactly what they reminded me off too. That is what we had all over our tree when I was little. Happy Holiday to you!
