fun, fun, fun!

These novelty report cards were SO FUN to design!  Don't worry, I left room for you to cast your vote too. You may write the recipient's name in the space provided under either list, mark the naughty or nice box, then jot down your own comments (sneaky laugh). Santa has already put his stamp of approval on it, so have a ball!

...my kind of Christmas tree

When I started making this tree, I kept thinking of the ones I used to see up North during the blistery winter. I paired it with a simple layer of snow, added a few ornaments and "voila!" The richness of the eggplant color (which I fell in love with) warms it all up a bit.

a new take!

Nontraditional is right down my alley. I wanted this note card to have an "artsy" feel with a miniature mod-art piece on the left on a type of cool grey canvas. Altogether... I took the postcard idea and gave it a Christmas twist.

fun with fonts

I absolutely LOVE rummaging through fonts and mix-matching them.  This card allowed me to do just that. I used various shades of green... and rather than the ordinary green-red combination, I punched in purple. Just address it at the top then sign it at the bottom & you're done!

... good things come in small packages

A dear friend of mine just a few months ago delivered a handsome little baby boy. What a cutie! Although for awhile things will seem concentrated on that adorable boy, I wanted her to know she's just as adorable as a loving mother. She seems always to send a note here and there...so I had a great idea...

...the next stage

I absolutely l-o-v-e nature, but for this next group of cards I decided to add more of a "girlie" flair -- purses, sparkles, ribbons & polk-a-dots... I love 'em all!

 

...earlier cards

The following is a small handful of the earlier cards I put together. One thing I wanted to avoid on a simple card was clutter.  People want to write...and what they write should not be overpowered or shadowed by... let's call it chaos. Instead, the message should touch the reader and only be enhanced by decoration.
