Christmas Cards

Wow, it is busy today at the mall! It doesn’t pay to be a last minute shopper! It’s very stressful and time consuming to get anywhere because traffic multiplies by 100. Let me tell you something you might not know. I made these Christmas cards for a select few people. I made 20 to be exact; it took forever cut all the picese.
I used Basic Grey’s Figgy Pudding paper and Bazzill brown cardstock. Inside the cards I put in this years picture of Sean and Santa. This idea is not an original I got the figgy pudding card kit and just duplicated the card. I though it was too cute.

Good Times

Every Tuesday Balboa park has a few free museums, which is great if your on a budget and would like to pass a few educational hours with your kid(s) some are more kid friendly than others. Earlier this month Sean and I went with a friend to the Ruben H. Fleet Science Center and the Natural History Museum. It was a ton of fun, I took a few pictures. ☺

Christmas Cards

Candace and Lisa wanted to give Christmas cards with their pictures to the members at the Credit Union they work for. I convinced them that if I made it for them it would not only personalize them, it would also be much more economical.
I used the Berry Days FREE digital kit from 2peas. They printed 100 prints for $20.48+ $4.31 in envelopes. It would have cost them more than $25 to get 100 plain old generic Christmas cards.
It took me about an hour to make it. I’m giving my self a pat on the back for being a good friend and saving money even thought it wasn’t mine. ☺ I know I’m sooo modest lol.

Owl Ornament

My girlfriend Rebecca got me this supper awesome owl ornament for Christmas. I’m not sure what about it made her think of me when she saw it, but it got me thinking and according to Wikipedia “In Greek mythology, the owl, and specifically the Little Owl, was often associated with the goddess Athena, a bird goddess who became associated with wisdom, the arts, and skills, and as a result, owls also became associated with wisdom.”
I’m just glad she thought of me, it’s very colorful and in my opinion suits me ☺
