A Great Card Day

Today my friend and CTMH consultant, Joyce Houck, held her annual Christmas Card Extravaganza. Those attending made 8 fabulous Christmas cards using some of this year's CTMH Christmas products.  Here's what we made:











I think everyone was pleased with this year's cards, not to mention the fact that we had taco soup for lunch which we all love (The recipe can be found on Joyce's blog, if you're curious.).
Thanks, Joyce, for a great day.

Tomorrow I have a bridal shower to attend, for which I made this card: 
The card is built on a base of red foil, faintly visible around the edges, with black and white papers, red foil strip and b/w gingham fabric tape across the front, red pearls and red and white sheer double loop bows.
