A start to some christmas cards....

Well I know I should be making my Thanksgiving cards to send to a few of my family members who live far away but I found myself instead making some vintage style Christmas cards instead...though I did pull out a lot of Thanksgiving products so that I can work on those and some Thank You notes next.  I love this time of year when the air is getting colder and the Holidays are in sight.  I just adore the Christmas season as it is a time when the whole world shows there love!  And that is what it is all about - LOVE! 

Here are the first couple of cards that I have made....lots more to make I wonder if I will be able to make one for everyone on my list....we shall see....happy crafting!  : ) Jill

My soon to be home for my handmade cards....

Welcome to Greenwood Girl Cards!  I am so excited to have finally thought of a name for this blog.  I wanted something that spoke about me and my life and I finally decided on this as it is about an area in the Pacific Northwest where I live. 

I love crafting of all kinds - crocheting, stamping, card-making, scrapbooking, home decor, altered art - oh and baking too!  Since I was a young girl I have always loved working with my hands.  Not a day goes by that I don't wish to be crafting something if time is available.  This site is going to be used to specifically showcase my card making.  I will have a place to post the cards I make before I give them away and be able to look back and get ideas from what I have already done as well as hopefully improve my design skills in the process.

Here are a couple of Halloween cards I made this past week....sorry the last picture is blurry.  I can't retake it because I already mailed the card to my sister and her family - they have a hot tub so it seemed like the perfect card for them...
