Christmas Cards

I have this year's Christmas cards finished, addressed, and ready to go out in the mail. Just waiting for December 1. Here's the card that I made this year.

I wanted to use a non-traditional color combination this year, so I found beautiful patterned paper from My Mind's Eye in the dark and light turquoise. Bo Bunny red dots give a nice contrast. Of course, the centerpiece is the crocheted snowflake that my scrappy friend Bonnie made for me. Her fingers were busy all summer to get these snowflakes done!


I added a sentiment at the bottom. For as much as I hate snow, I sure am using the "Let it snow" theme an awful lot this year.

    So pretty! Any chance Bonnie would share her crochet pattern instructions with us?

    Beautiful card, Erica! Love the blue and red combo and the pretty papers. Great layering, too. And that crocheted snowflake is absolutely fabulous. How awesome that your friend made these for you!
