I was running short on”thank-you” cards after Christmas so I decided to turn some of my art postcards into “thank-you’s” by stamping on them.

Homemade Christmas Cards
Love these pretty papers by K&Company. They aren’t Christmas papers but I made a couple of cards anyway. As you can see, I got a whopping TWO made. At this rate I’ll have enough cards for my aunts. And that’s all. 🙂 Hope you’re finding some creative time this week!
“Autumn Dreams” ATCs

Literary Art Card–“Jane Eyre”
