I was thinking as I was making these cards last night that folding is boring... laundry, paper, etc... which is probably why I don't take the time to make a lot of the embellishments that I made for these cards. It really does look pretty though, especially when you have a decorative-edged border. I'm thinking I ought to take some time tonight & redo our Christmas gifts with these as gift tags. You'd never know I was crafty if you took a look under our tree right now. It's pitiful. I think I'm just bored of it all at the moment.
Anyway, these cards are for the 3 awesome women that work in Bob's office. They're celebrating Christmas tomorrow & these cards are going in their gifts. Just used some old Christmas stash from last year & added some SRM Happy Holidays stickers to finish them up. Cannot say enough how much I love those clear stickers.
My merry & jolly self will be watching the annual Mizzou vs. Illinois Braggin' Rights game tonight. While it's certainly a LOT more fun to be at the game (actually it's a BLAST!), we opted this year to just stay home & watch it on TV. Plus the wine & popcorn is WAY better at our house anyway.
MIZ... !
Beautiful cards!!!

Those are awesome! I think you should do a little tutorial on how you put them together.

I'm so with you on the wrapping this year...I'm bored of it all.. My packages are so plain jane and boring but, at least they are wrapped!
Your cards are so pretty!! I love how you layered the folded embellishment over the doilies. Nice touch! :)

Really pretty cards :) I've been working on a project with the folded circles--they are such a hot embellishment right now.
Don't feel bad about your presents--mine are so boring, too. Wrapping is not my favorite thing.

Lovely flowers! I didn't make them until I got a Martha Stewart scoring board, then they became so easy!
But none are under the tree... just regular wrapping paper and name tag stickers. I know what you mean...
