Working on Christmas Presents in January?

I am betting you are saying what??  Is Chris working on late Christmas presents?  Nope!  I am actually working on presents for Christmas 2011.  Larry told me if I waited till the last minute to make Christmas presents again, he would shoot me.  Of course he said that while he was having fun helping me made this past Christmas' gifts. 

Before I go any farther...I am NOT Vickie's Secret Pal.  Some of you are going HUH??  Over on Paper Craft Planet,  there is a group called Anything Goes.  And that group is doing a year long Secret Pal.  Cole, bless her sweet soul, has assigned Secret Pals to those wishing to play.  Only requirement is to send 5 cards to your SP within the year.  Well, many SPs are sending gifts.  Vickie's SP sent her calendars like these.  Well the dear sweet SP shared the files with Cole who posted them so others could use them, without giving away the SPs identity. 

I saw Vickie's calendar and saw my 2011 Christmas gifts right away.  I knew i had to know how they were done.  They aren't as big as you think they are.  The pages are 5 1/2" x 4 3/4".  I am doing them a bit different.  I am dropping the images done with parts of them under the colored strip, because I am planning to have them bound like a spiral notebook.  Hopefully that is a Cinch in my future.  If not, it will be a trip to the office supply store which offers that service.  I have Jan and Feb done of one set.  So I will be at this for a long while.  Hopefully those receiving them will love them.  :)

I am showing you February's because I won the image in Guylou's Inimitability Blog Hop.  In addition to the image I won a RAK gift package.  I have to say, I was in a poor mood yesterday and it sure put me in a better mood.  Can't say I don't win anything any more.  Well I choice this image because it fits, G's new challenge, which is a Red Challenge.  It is as simple as it sounds.  Project must have something red in it.  All project get one entry in the drawing for a winner, who gets a free digi and Guest DT.  Use a GI image and you get 2 entries.  Use the featured image and you get 3 entries.  Well this is the featured image.  Yes, I planned it that way.  :)

Hope you like.

Hugs, love and prayers

Not a card. 

This is a little something that can sit on a desk. 

It's an easel card with a box attached to the box

It has a 2011 calendar on it. 

I made some similar to this for Christmas gifts

Pizzazz Aplenty!!

beads on a string in beige.

The pink and white flowers

As if that wasn't enough, Faith's Design Team has a new blog... Card Ideas.  And every Saturday they have a challenge, too!!  This week's challenge is use something new and something old.  Well, lets see.  I used the new image and I combined the old image of flowers to it the new image.  I used new flowers and paper from my stash so it is old. 

Wow I am all tired out just typing all that out.  And to think one card fits all that!!!  LOL and here that card is...

Then and Now

It's been almost a year and it's been 400 blog comments. 

Wow can you believe the difference in my card  making skills. 

To go back to the beginning and look through I can see why my dear step-daughter called my first set of cards I mailed out...CORNY!!!  Look at them.  They were!!

I want to thank everyone who has stopped by and left me some love, given me advice, helped me a long the way, and encoraged me. 

Love ya'll
