In Chronological Order...
2007
This is the very beginning of my card making adventures! It's a postcard combining fancy papers, computer-generated message and silver-embossed stamp, die-cut with punches. At this point my supplies were very limited.

2010
Design client card with instant coffee packets in the pocket.
In the beginning of my card making the emphasis was more on interesting papers I found, with a single stamp and computer-generated messages.
Printed papers, border and snowflake dies, and a single stamp inside. This must have been the year I got a Sizzix "Big Shot" from my wonderful husband for my birthday!

This Christmas season I found some beautiful coordinating papers by Anna Griffin and I bought enough to use for both family and friends and design clients, short-cutting the process a bit.
Postcard for clients with coordinating custom envelope. The ornaments were all fussy-cut and layered and the snowflakes die-cut.

2013
A year is missing here - I think it might have been due to a computer crash that lost a lot of my photo files. This is also the year I had some new PTI dies that I was very fascinated with - especially the snowflakes!
Family and friends 2013
Design clients - experimenting with a tri-fold card and ribbons passing through the center of each page.
I have a large group of E-friends on a social forum that I have participated with for a number of years. I often send Christmas cards to all of these friends.
