Are You Still There?
Wow! Here it is December 6th and I have not made a post in awhile. Sorry, friends I have not forgotten you. However, I have forgotten my manners and my brains. I have had so many things I have wanted to do. So many projects I have wanted to show. So may ideas I wanted to share. Fear not I plan on getting my stuff together again. So no baby yet. Let’s hope she keeps holding out. If you remember my due date is the same day as my last final exam, December 13th. We all think I am going to make it (crossing my fingers). Then after that I will be ready, well as ready as I can be. Until I can get to some serious blogging done I am going to post some handmade holiday cards.

Here is the first. I made this Victorian inspired card for a Christmas Card Swap Party last month. I made several of this style but with different background papers. This one was not my favorite I think it is too plain. This is probably why I ended up making about 5 other versions that I will be posting the next few days. The Santa is actually embossed. I used a white pigment ink pad and then used a cranberry embossing powder. Also the green paper was a plain hunter green but I used a green glitter spray to make it sparkle.

Be sure that it is not you that is mortal, but only your body. For that man whom your outward form reveals is not yourself; the spirit is the true self, not that physical figure which and be pointed out by your finger.
