xmas thanks

I love to tie my christmas cards and christmas thank you's together, so the challenge at Nichole Heady's blog (here) was right up my alley… even if I was slow to start it.  

There were lovely strips of left-over patterned paper I punched from a super-cool Mish photo-card design I used (here).  For this layout I remembered a N.H. card I'd CASEd before (here).  BONUS: this was also my first chance to use some of my new large envelopes I've been hoarding, which is a good new year thing to do.

Things are off to a GREAT start in my corner of the world - I hope they are for you, too!
