Silent Night Holy Night and a Holly Jolly Christmas

Good morning, happy Monday!  I'm typing up this post super early.  In fact, it's Wednesday night...and I'm scheduling this for Monday morning.  Yes...I know I'm overly organized.  I am an organizer, and oh how I love to cross things off my to do list.  But...I digress.  I'm writing this early because I spent the weekend scrapbooking away, but I wanted to visit with you this morning. I love blogging.  I love hearing from you and there are cards to be shared!

So...two Christmas cards here. Completely different elemetns on the two cards, but two cards that would be easy to mass produce.   How are your cards coming along?  I'd love to hear from you!

And...let's all get this week off to a great start! Happy Monday...be back tomorrow with a few more cards!

These are so different from each other, but both lovely. The cut out in the first looks great, I love the polka dot paper with the image. Also love the sentiment and colours of the second. I hope you had a fun weekend scrapping :)

Love the layered circles in the first card and Santa looks great framed by the polka dots. And the second one - love the grid pattern on the stars! :)

We'll not discuss how my Christmas cards are coming along...

Jenny said...

Great designs..especially love the second card, contemporary and CAS :)

Both great cards to mass produce! Love the clean look of the second one. As for my status on Christmas cards...I am waaaaay behind on them! Might have to CASE some of yours to take the creative pressure off! :)

Wow, the first has such a clean and vintage feel but the second one really calls to me. I love a clean and graphic card. Fabulous designs on both though.

Maureen said...

you are the most organized person!! And I saw it first hand..love the little window on the first card and lOVE the colour on white of the second...that sentiment is GREAT!!
UGH! Will it be hard to get back into the swing of things after a long weekend? Wish we had another long one like the States next week. AHHH!!! Sweet!

I'll bet you had a fabulous time this weekend! Love both cards today, Lynn! The way you stamped the sentiment over the popped up stars on your second card looks fantastic! Hope your week start off well. . . .and organized! :)

Christina said...

These would both be great for mass producing. I especially love the soft sponging on the first one. I should get started on my holiday cards, but I'm still waiting for my PTI winnings to arrive--lots of new Christmas stamps that will need inking!

Laurie said...

I love both of these but that star card is my fave! I love the design with those circles! Awesome!

Aimes said...

Oh how I wish I could be as organised as you, Lynn!
I hope you had a lovely weekend away - sounds like my idea of bliss!
I love both cards but I'm totally diggin' the bright stars and that awesome grid paper - gives your card a cool modern feel with a traditional twist with the sentiment! Love it!
Hugs,
Aimes

Wow, you really are cranking out your holiday cards, that's so wonderful to get them done, though! I love the vintage looking Santa!

Ooooo! Lynn, these are so cool! I am really smitten with the second one, I love the way you used the negative space on that! I feel ya, I am **guilty** of being a planner, too. But when life gets so crazy, what's a girl to do? hope you are having a wonderful week **hugs** :)

You must be TOTALLY organized...I read your blog everyday and am amazed that you find time to craft, spend so much quality time with your family, have scrapping weekends AND a fulltime job! Super Woman! I Love reading about your family and all the fun things your boys say and do...memories. I have two boys (men) 22 and 17 and I still struggle to work fulltime, make meals, clean, etc. and craft. I think I need your organization skills...any hints:-)
Sorry for the blabbing, I have my Christmas card idea and all the supplies but I haven't started yet. But on a fun note, I am joining my sister and her daughters for a weekend at the Mall of America and our favorite store there is Archivers (which is also the closest to us 2 1/2 hours away) so I am sure I will be bringing home some goodies this weekend...very exciting!
