I guess this year I have joined those that start thinking about Christmas before Halloween is over. Normally I wait until later in the season but the mood came early this year. It all started with Christmas cards. The last several years, I have been super about getting cards but not sending them. Last year I didn't even get around to it. But THIS YEAR, I will do better. These may be famous last words but well, that wouldn't be the first time.
I am working on a Christmas project with a friend and that made me think of cards. This year I am going to make our cards. I have tangled some ornaments on a card, added a bit of red and green and voila! I have cards. My work place even offered a deal on getting them printed at 40% off. Sweet! They are prepping for printing now. I am also having the inside message printed to make it even easier on myself. Next I will just get a family photo printed so I can put it in the card. Then all that is left is to get them addressed. I may even tangle a design and have the stamps made at one of those online places. That may be over doing it a bit. We'll see when my steam runs out.
I may do a few more holiday patterns. I bought some snowflakes and trees to trace and tangle so I might as well give them a try too.
I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. If they look good printed up, I may make our card every year. Also, I bet it will be a good incentive to get my other card designs made.
JJ, I've enjoyed your zentangles so much! I was so surprised to read in your profile that you consider yourself a "wanna be artist". You, my friend, are indeed an artist, and a very good one! Happy tangling!
