Penguins, Penguins Penguins!

My crafty friends, just letting you know that this post was originally posted on 11-8-14.  But I think it's still a good Christmas card to inspire your crafting.  I will be posting more cards as we get closer to Christmas!  Bright Blessings and have your best week ever!  Jana

Welcome back to another episode of Rhapsody on Paper.  So very thankful that you chose to spend some time with me.  It just tickles my heart pink!

Well we had a very warm October.  The warmest on record for Oregon.  Then November 1st hit and wham, it got cold quick.  We got down in the low 40's last night.  My poor kitties are snuggling with mom and dad.

Now on to the first batch of 30 Christmas cards.  I have a bazaar the first weekend of December.  I am making bundles of 5 Christmas cards each and hope to have 20-25 bundles ready to sell.  I am thinking a price of $10 each bundle should work.  Everyone admires your work but won't pay what we all know it's really worth.

But first the lyrics...

~All cardstock is recollections
~The file is X-Mas Palz Collection that can be found in the ScrappyDew Vault area.
   You really should check the vault area out.  Here is the link http://www.scrappydew.com/
~Background for the front of the card is giftwrap from Costco.

So now on to the Penguins.

Here I am!

Now that really is a lot of Penguin Christmas cards.  Oh forgot to tell you the rubber stamp is by Studio G and I picked it up a couple of summers ago at Joann's.

And just for my loyal readers, I have a sneaky peek at the next batch of 30 Christmas cards....

Oh my deer, such a little sneeky peek....hee hee

So that's it for this week.  Back to the studio to create more Christmas goodness.  I hope you have a wonderful week.  Veterans Day is Tuesday.  So while so many have the day off, just remember our veterans.

Bright blessings, Jana

A look at Christmas Cards past, week 2

Hello all my crafty friends.  This week we are heading back to 2013 and another Christmas card.  I have used a file that may not be available.  It's called "Snowmanbrr" made by ScrappyDew.  I love the way this one turned out.  Pretty straight forward in going together.  I do make my Christmas cards in a assembly line fashion.  I put each part in an envelope and then each 35-40 cards are assembled starting with the body.

So here is this weeks cutie!

This is a real cutie.  Simple and fast to put together
in batches of 10 cards.

So that is it for this weeks look at past Christmas cards.  We have 3 more Saturdays to go.  Have your best week ever my friends.  Bright blessings, Jana

Christmas Card Inspiration

Hello all my crafty friends.  For the next few weeks I am going to be sharing some of the Christmas cards that I have made in past years.  Ok Ok...  I have so many projects going right now that I might not get finished until 2017..  Hey, I sent after Christmas cards last year and they were a BIG HIT!!!  So without further ado, here is the first installment of Christmas cards from years past.

Let's get started with the first year.  That would be 2013. (the original post is in the archive on the right hand side of the blog)  I had just started my card making odyssey.  I just love the way this one came to life.

If i remember correctly, this was a card
for my sister Tamara.

A little better view of the easel card.

Of course a Christmas card must have
a Christmas Envelope!!!

Hope that you have enjoyed this look back.  Next week some more of the past Christmas Cards.  I hope to have some pictures of what I am working on now too!  Have your most wonderful day, bright blessings, Jana
