Sending a Christmas card each day my daughter is away at PSU. We are up to day 4. She'll be coming home on the 17th, so follow me through each day as I make a new card. At the end I have a special surprise that I've made for my daughter (so she has somewhere to keep all the cards). You'll have to wait since I don't want to spoil her surprise. :)
Today's card was inspired by Jeanette Lynton. I saw this lovely card on the CTMH website and just had to make it for my daughter (well something very similar since I couldn't find the measurements and directions; it's not saying they're not out there somewhere, I was just in a hurry to beat the postal carrier to the mailbox, LOL).
