Joy

I just added a new painted shirt set to my other etsy shop. This one spells out JOY.

I am going to use them for my Christmas cards this year.

Today I wanted to get some pictures of the shirts on my models.

Unfortunately, I picked the absolute worst time of day to take pictures...too bright...too many shadows...etc...etc.

But, I was determined to work with them!

With the help of some Pioneer Woman Photoshop Actions, I think that they aren't too bad:)

Which one should I use for my Christmas cards???

#1

#2

#3

#4

I think that I like # 4 the best...but not too sure...hmmmm...what do you think?

(P.s. I'm also planning on using part of the lyrics for "Joy to the World" somehow in my cards.)

What do you do for your holiday cards? Do you make them?

"Thumb" bunnies love you...

I got the idea for this cute Easter card from The Crafty Crow:

Recycling Old Christmas and/or Greeting Cards

I found a really fun blog today called Crafty Goat's Notes. There was this really great post on how to recycle old greeting cards. It got me thinking....so I thought that I would share.

I also found a bunch of greeting card recycling ideas here.

What will you do with your old cards?

Even more cards...

but these ones are by me...and they are in my etsy shop!

They are my first set of cards featuring my own polymer clay piece of art! I created the winter scene with Christmas cards in mind, but think that they will make wonderful note cards also. I hope to do more soon. I am framing the original and giving it away as a gift. It was done on a 5"x7" canvas. Here are some pictures:
