This is so cute. Thanks for sharing.

What a cute card.

Just wanted to tell you that I made a few cards like this and they turned out so cute. I varied it a little, but I used the scarecrow and the inside like you did.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Wanda! I always wonder when I post these simplistic cards if anyone is really interested. I love being able to make cards without going to the craft store and buying a lot of materials, just to make one or two cards. [I know... I'm an old tightwad. But I'd rather be called 'thrifty'! - LOL!! I enjoy the challenge of being able to make cards with just the do-dads I have around the house, and computer graphics, of course.]

Isn't Danielle's a wonderful site... so many possibilities with the graphics and ideas there.

I like being thrifty, also. I hope you post some more of your cards. I need christmas ideas. I am just learning to make cards. I don't have many stamps. I need to make a few for a card exchange.
Please show more.

I see you like photography, Wanda. Here's a very simplistic idea for your Christmas card that doesn't require a lot of 'scrapbook store' goodies.

Take a picture you like, maybe a snowy field with a single barn or house, or perhaps an evergreen tree covered in snow... Or maybe the wreath on your front door...

Use that as the decoration on the front of your card. Print the photos on either photo paper or a similar quality paper (not the regular cardstock). Cut them out. [You might find it cheaper to have the photo printing done at a quickie print shop.]

Decide on your background cardstock color, texture, and the inside verse; print the verse, and, if you use one, your colophon on the back.

Decorative suggestions:
*If you've chosen a snowy scene, you could highlight the snow by applying a 'bit' of crystal glitter to accent it.

*Or if your wreath has red berries, you could use some red dimensional paint on some of them.

*Or maybe cut the edges of the photo with decorative scissors; or perhaps mount it on a contrasting color paper.

Glue the photo to the front of the card, using double-sticky tape, just a row at the top. You're done!

Hope these suggestions get your mind working... I'm sure you'll come up with the perfect photo that expresses your Christmas wishes.

And be sure to check the card-crafting books at your local public library. And do it soon, before they are all checked out by other patrons!

You may find just the idea that doesn't even involve photos!

Thanks! :)
