For those who visited my last WOYWW (thank you!)... you will see that I did make my Clean and Simple Christmas Card and popped a photo of my children on it! Voila! It is still a bit hard to take for my hubby and my sister (Hi Rach!) who are used to lots of layers and embellishments from my card creations. I think there is too much white showing for their liking but I am quite happy with the result! What do you think? (See below for a closer look)
What else can you see on my desk today...hmmm! The Graduation card I made for my niece (see my previous post for details). Photos ready to be cut and attached to the card bases. A half finished card with two images from CC Designs ready to go. My previous post also has a completed Santa Emma card. Plus there are lots of images waiting to be coloured in with my precious copics that you can see in the top left. Well bloggers that is me done. Thank you again to all those who found the time to leave me a comment last week. I really love hearing what you have to say. I managed to visit over 80 blogs and left some love at each one!
This is a close up of the Christmas card that I am sending out this year. No my daughter does not have a strange facial tattoo... she'd had her face painted at the Christmas party we were at on the day! A very plain and simple card...no layering, no ribbon, no patterned paper but I did add some glitter and some bling! The sketched rectangle is a Hero Arts stamp, the sentiment is from Stampin' Up and I used Martha's Holly Punch.
Link up your desk here at the Stamping Ground so others can check out what you are up to.

I had trouble last week, so it's good I can leave a comment today. I like this kind of card. Simple is my mantra, and it has just enough bling to catch the eye (#4).
Nice to send out photos as Christmas cards....that sort will never be recycled, but treasured!

Love clean - but I think of it as "elegant" and that is a lovely card you have done. Love the graduation one!
Thanks for visiting me - just back hence so late. Merry Crimbo!
Hi Susan, I'm a firm believer in clean and simple, especially when you need lots and time is short. Your card is fabulous. It they really don't like the white, then use a coloured cardstock next year (grin)
Be blessed

I'm delighted you stuck with your design, it shows how flexible and openly creative your mind is. (That's to tell your sissy and hubby.!!) It's just gorgeous and you have to go with what pleases you for sure!
Love your Christmas cards they are stunning - I also love the idea of your doorbell to call your DH from the shed lol - Nicky 15
