Christmas Cards

[Jodie]

I have started a photography course (you will all be sick of my pics by the time I am finished). I have posted quite a few in the photo thread if you want to have a look.

Seeing some of the clsoe ups that I have done, I am pretty sure that I can do some real close pics of beautiful Christmas ornaments and candles - that I can use to front Christmas cards.

I just can't wait to have a go at it. I might get some out, through the week and see how I go.

What a wonderful idea to use your photos to make Christmas cards.

Homemade Christmas cards of any design are always the best, and your photos will make stunning ones Jodie!

Usually we are in the midst of Christmas card crafting prior to CIJ -- this year that all has to wait.

Anyone else working on their cards?

me and DD started to do ours but we couldnt figure out how to make the envelopes so stopped.and decided to use out new cards with envelopes and glitter them.and shes doing a good job retouching some color here and there andmaking them pretty...

The cards sound beautiful Winterself!!!

[Snowbelle27]

Your cards sound great Winterself. I love making Christmas cards but i must admit I do cheat. I buy the blank cards and matching envelopes and then just decorate them myself, with rubber stamping or embossing. I think you are really ambitious to make envelopes.

That would be awesome!

BTW, do you have a photo editing program like Paint Shop Pro? You could add Christmasy frames and borders!

[Winterself]

no i dont have any programs to help like that.my old computer is lucky it even turns on..lol..we do everything by hand.she is the artist im the embelisher.

It is a good idea to make Christmas eCard with your photos and music
