Holiday Card Wrap-up - Pictures

I promised pictures of several holiday cards and I'm delivering. I received so many wonderful cards from around the world and I'm thrilled and humbled that friends, both RL and cyber, enjoy exchanging holiday cards with me. Here are a few of the stunning cards I received this season for you to enjoy along with me.

Curious Wombat made this lovely card. I really enjoyed
the "Merry Christmas" ribbon down the front and the
textured stars. 

My friend Hans Meevis is an amazing jeweler of superb skills
who has his shop in Dusseldorf. The different colors and
almost art-deco look of this card really attracted me. 

This fabulous card is from another German friend of
mine, Iris. I've had her as an on-line friend for many
years now and this card was stunning. When the
light caught the golden deer and the stars, they just glowed. 

Sometimes I have to go all gushy over cute. I wasn't expecting a physical
card from LindaHoyland, but was delighted to receive this lovely picture
of sleepy kittens. I couldn't resist sharing with all of you. 

My long-time friend Poo made this fabulous card for me. From the
candy-stripe string to the hand-stamped tree and sentiment, it
was a lovely reflection of her skills at card assembly. She sends
me cards for many occasions throughout the year and they are always
a joy to receive. 

This card from Shirebound is all glitter and gold and was
one of the most stunning cards I received this season. The
scan just doesn't do it justice. It sparkles and shines.
So pretty! 

This card featured a 3-dimensional gold-tipped poinsettia flower
as the centerpiece. Coming to me all the way from silvertrails in
Peru, my DH immediately grabbed the stamps while I
marveled and enjoyed the card. Truly lovely! 

And this wonderful card from binkaslibrary in Poland is only
last because I wanted to leave each of you with a
really lovely sight. This card just drips with a feeling
of art nouveau. Hubby was very pleased with the stamps of
this day, getting both the stamps from Poland as well
as stamps from Croatia with my friend Ellyn's holiday note.  

So there you have it. I was so thrilled with the stunning cards I was privileged to receive over the holiday season and thank each and every one of you who sent one to me. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them and can't wait to do it again at the end of 2015. I've already started planning the design for my next card, so be warned - I'll be wanting to send one to you! Happy Monday.
