We’re into the Holiday season now! Normally I do a lot of designer, individual Christmas cards for my shop, but with getting sick for almost 3 weeks last month, I did not get a chance to put any together! I do have a few single Christmas cards in my shop, as well as a few 6-card sets. Handmade cards make amazing Christmas cards – they mean so much more than store-bought and show that you truly made the effort on your friends and family this year!

I received a couple fantastic custom orders this month for some really fun projects I’m excited for! The first order was for 6 custom word albums; each album is a different word, decorated with a different theme. I have the first two albums finished and have posted pictures for the first (LOVE album with a green theme), as well as the second LOVE album, this one with a black, white, red and silver theme. I am hoping to get all these albums finished by early next week! I am so far having a lot of fun with these. It is a lot of work cutting everything out manually from the illustration board, but doing the entire thing custom makes it that much more special!

In addition to these custom albums, I got a custom order for two picture frames! I have decorated picture frames before, but haven’t done so in a while and I’m really excited to go at them again! This custom order is for another friend of mine who is expecting her first baby in January. One frame is for her nursery (in a sailboat theme, I love it!), the other is for her mother-in-law. I have some great ideas for the nursery frame and I’m excited to see how it turns out!

I will also have a couple Thank You cards posted to my shop, hopefully this afternoon that I put together a couple weeks ago and just haven’t had the time to post them!

Thanks for creating with me!
