Some of this years efforts

Splendid Sylvia I love these two cards and the glitter adds a lovely festive touch. they'll look great on someone's mantelpiece! I have had my Christmas collage card printed this year but, like you, over the years I have painted individual cards, printed my own etc. Friends and family tell me they look forward to receiving them my each year as I'm sure yours do - no pressure!

It is a satifying thing to do Sylvia, I only do a percentage of the cards I send out...special ones.....but I enjoy thinking about and designing each one, whether it&#39;s hand painted or if I print them myself. I&#39;m concentrating on lino prints for this years! It&#39;s going to be messy...lol<br />These two are full of life and will brighten up any mantelpiece.

Really beautiful Sylvia

You have spurred me on to make mine this year Sylvia! This one is brilliant! I can see snow in a forest here. Lovely job :)

These are both great Sylvia. You and my grand daughter would get on very well with all that glitter. Me, I just sweep up after.

Originals. Who cannot be pleased with original art, especially when it is as good as this.

Thank you so much everyone . The bonus is also the cost, or lack of it.

This is so bright and cheerful, love it especially bewitch the glitter. You have taken Christmas to a new level Sylvia. I would be delighted to get one like this I would frame it! I also paint cards for family and close friends.

A gorgeous explosion of colours Sylvia!

Thanks once more. I do think making cards is a lovely thing to do my sweet sister in law has every one I have ever sent to her . Though as someone commented it does become an expectation by a lot of people. The pressure starts late summer sometimes. Though these ones have been both easy and fun to do . <br />
