There's A Card Thursday - September 28, 2017 - Country Livin' Truck Christmas

So tell me, you can comment below, are you done with your Christmas Card for this year?  I am not pretty close but not all the way done.

Here is one of the cards we did for one of my Christmas Card Classes.

I love using a non-traditional set for Christmas.

I love snow when I can put it on a card but get tired of it when it is on the ground.

So let's take a look at how to make this fun card.

So was that a fun card.  I don't know if I would be making a ton of these cards unless I had a Cut and Scan but 5 isn't to bad.
