One of the privileges of doing what I do is receiving handmade cards from my friends.  Today I'd like to share some of the wonderful handmade Christmas cards that have arrived here this season….. and I'll post more soon. 

All of these cards are much more beautiful in real life than I've been able to capture on camera.  That's because trying to balance light vs. shadow (to show depth and texture) along with accurate color/exposure – is an art I haven't yet perfected.  So my apologies for being a VERY amateur photographer, but thank you, ladies, for thinking of me!

Carolyn's deer is Rudolph.  How do I know?  Well, he has a shiny red gem on his nose!

Dee is a knitter, and tells me her knitting friends really enjoyed her card this year. BTW, that's white embossing on the red cardstock!

Lots of texture on Kathy's jolly card!  A particularly tough one to photograph with all its contrast, but doesn't it just make you grin?!?

Big hugs to all my stampin' friends, and Merry Christmas!  More cards to follow….
