I can draw certain things, but it is not something that comes natural for me. I really think you have done such a beautiful job with these, you must be really chuffed!

My littlest boys school give you the opportunity to buy your own child,s designed card, which I have done for the past two years, and they make life a little less fraught!<br />*https://www.blogger.com/profile/10821840185143701654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-89594590648882748352013-11-28T22:03:25.001+00:002013-11-28T22:03:25.001+00:00Oh my word!

And I agree that the message is what counts.<br /><br />I love to make cards and for years refused to buy them - I even used to make my own envelopes - but the last few years I've have a hard time working card-making in with my other December activities. We'll see what happens this year! :)<br /><br />Have fun in London! (How I would love to be able to hop a train and go there.

It kind of kills two birds with one stone; a holiday greeting combined with a new photo of the kids since most friends and relatives are long-distance and don't see them often.Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-37132677701963404862013-11-27T22:16:43.970+00:002013-11-27T22:16:43.970+00:00They are joyful Penny and I'm sure you are bet...They are joyful Penny and I'm sure you are better at drawing than you think.<br />I love the stylised tree and all the lovely colours you have used.

And I have found, like you, that a little stamping or lino-cutting goes a long way to make up for our lack of talent with a pencil.<br /><br />I've just bought a little table top printing press - the cheapest you can get - and need to TRY and draw something small enough to fit on my lino tile to carve. (words going the wrong way planning in advance!!) And I shall make these to send Like you, I (we) have cut back hugely on the number of cards we send these days - and not just because of the cost. Since retiring of course I no longer have the ridiculous round of cards to people I hardly know (and who hardly know me either!). Yours look lovely and I do like your colour scheme!
