Christmas wishes...

Hi Everyone!  Happy Sunday.  It's been overcast and foggy for the last two days and unfortunately, I think I'm coming down with a cold.  Which of course means I haven't been as productive as I would like to have been.

  I'm still working on the American flag for a client and am hoping to be finished with it on my day off this week.

 Since I needed something to do that didn't require a lot of work, I decided to go ahead and make my Christmas cards.  Every year for the last 5 or 6 years I make about a dozen cards to give away and then use store bought cards for the rest. 

 Using cream colored card stock, white typing paper and large envelops I created sheet music cards with a bird silhouette on a limb.  I found some sheet music with Joy to the World on it and photocopied it onto the card stock.

 Then I drew the bird on the limb onto each piece of sheet music.

 And then colored it in with a black paint pen.

 Then I created the message for the reverse side and cut each one down to fit the size of the card stock.

 Using an Elmer's glue stick, I attached the white paper to the backside of the cream card stock.

 Nothing fancy.  Just a simple card with Christmas wishes.  I'll be sending these out to some special people in my life.  And now I'm going to go rest, watch a Christmas movie and try to get rid of this cold.  Thanks for stopping by.
