A Final Christmas card for 2022

Hey there - sorry to be offline for a while! I spent two weeks in Arizona with my sisters who live there, plus Dad visited too! We had loads of fun playing cards and eating holiday foods, missing Mom of course. My brother and his wife spent Thanksgiving in AZ so they stayed in Minnesota. Anyway, I'm home now & getting ready for 2023 to arrive.

Before that, I'll share a final 2022 Christmas card I made while in Arizona. My sister invited a friend to Christmas Eve dinner so I made him a card. I was giving cards to family members attending the dinner so couldn't leave out Frank. Forgive the bad photo - I had none of my usual staging props & just popped the card onto a piece of paper :(

Supplies: Paper - MFT Holly Jolly; glitter cardstock

Dies - Lawn Fawn Snow Flurries Backdrop

Stamp - Hero Arts Merry Christmas Messages (retired)

I picked up the LF die set at my favorite Arizona craft store Scraps of Love. They also have a discount outlet next door and I got an old MFT Christmas kit at a deep discount, along with a bunch of other items. I'm entering this card in the December Christmas Kickstart Challenge to link up anything Christmas-y. Plus, since the LF die is newly used, I'm also linking up at Darnell's December NBUS Challenge.

I came home to a pile of mail that my neighbor collected for me, including a bunch of Christmas cards. Here's a quickie photo of the cards I received from my crafty friends, including a machine stitched one from a dear friend from Wisconsin. So much crafty goodness & if you sent me a card, many thanks - I appreciate you!

Thanks for stopping & I'll get back to visiting blogs and commenting soon!
