Christmas Cards

So the next page in our Christmas journals had to be about our plans for christmas cards this year. Now I admit that in the past I have tried to make christmas cards for various people, but it is so time consuming and I never feel happy with the final product (being a bit of a perfectionist). I never manage to make enough for everybody either. So this year I plan on buying my cards - far less stressful that way! I will try and make a couple of special cards but thats about it.
I didn't have any of last year's cards available, haven't yet received any and haven't bought any to send so today's page was promising to be problematic! However, I decided to use some little envelopes I had bought for storing card sorts (those who teach will know what these are!) and used them as page embellishments to try and meet Shimelle's challenge. Its not my favourite page so far but it fits fairly nicely into the overall look so I won't worry too much about it.

We have been suffering from a complete lack of internet, tv and phone this evening as Virgin Media collapsed in Coventry. I'm finally back online though, and realising how much I depend on modern technology in my evening!

  6. Clo, this page is lovely. Those little envelopes are so cute. I agree with what everyone else is saying and your pages are flowing really nicely, they all have similar elements but are so different on their own. I agree with you about the Christmas cards - if I hadn't done mine already they woudln't be getting done at all - my journal is much more important! Carole x
