Keeping Christmas - January 2020

Hello there!  

Welcome to a new year of Keeping Christmas!  

We are a Team of cardmakers who love making Christmas cards and do so throughout the year.  Our creator, Kelly Lunceford, created this blog hop for inspiration for Christmas cards.  We have had to say a sad goodbye to some of our previous team members who went on to other endeavors.  We will miss them dearly.  Yet we have several  new members filling their spots and we are excited to have them on board.  Welcome Marybeth Lopez, Nancy Penir and Carol Hintermeier!

Our premise is still the same --- an inspirational Christmas blog hop full of Christmas cards, tags, bags, other Christmas paper projects to inspire you throughout the year to help you get in the  mood to create Christmas cards all year round so by the time Christmas comes, you have quite a stash already made and ready to sign and mail. 

Being that Christmas was exactly just one month ago today, I still had alot of Christmas things out on my craft table.  It seems I always have some projects I but then don't materialize.  I have a box full of various different Christmas dies that have were cut and then left unused and so I pulled those out to make my card.  Everything on my card I already had created and didn't use or was a leftover  or cut.  The background was a watercolored pine tree stencilI cut down to fit inside the brown frame. I wasn't planning on a masculine card, but now I have a masculine Christmas card for my stash and less leftovers.  

Below is the Design Team list you can hop through and check out all the fabulous projects:
