Christmas cards out of Christmas cards







Last year I saved all of the Christmas cards I received with the thought that I would make Christmas cards out of them this year. And I did.

It's, surprisingly, a lot harder than it may seem. It takes a lot of time and creativity to figure out how to piece old cards together and make new cards. What is rather neat, though, is that I basically make a personal card for everyone on my list. It's a lot of fun.


Monty was busy making his own card to Santa. He wrote this brilliant letter asking for a LEGO Train Set. He also had to mail his letter right away (and Mailman Dave took the letter...fake stamp and all!)


And Little Miss Agatha celebrated her 2 month birthday yesterday (I can't believe it!).

I've been "reusing" cards too. These are adorable! Thanks for the shout out too, I hope you enjoy your patterns. Cooper mailed a letter to Santa in the same fashion and actually got one back in the mail two days later. It was awesome. I love our mail lady!
