Here are my Christmas cards for this year. I'm posting them for the
Country View December challenge (Christmas) and the
WOW embossing powders challenge (winter, links in the comments). I wanted to do mixed media and use some scraps... and the results are quite cool, though my husband said they look like wedding invitations!

| the joy of their children |
I layered down book pages, off white cotton fabric. Sewed around them and added white texture paste (Aleene's glitter snow), heat embossing and a small sentiment. Each card is different, because the sentiments are all cut from the book pages. The book has nothing to do with Christmas, and I was surprised how many suitable sentiments I was able to find. Most of the sentiments got some white behind them to stabilize the layers.

| above all trails |
 |
| at a very slow pace |
 |
| rejoicing hearts |
 |
| the glimmer of thousands of lights being lit |
 |
| in halls of stars |
 |
| full of smile, satisfied |
 |
| the faraway tinkle of bells |
 |
| life and time rejoiced |
Certainly a different Christmas colour scheme! Thanks for joining us at Country View Challenges this month.
