Great cards! I love the first with the nativity scene. Thanks for the chance at some great candy too!

Lee Mae said...

Beautiful, beautiful cards, Pam! I have that Basic Grey paper from your first card and I was just eying it last night. I like the second card best, though, because of the variations from the sketch. I always learn so much from your cards, and the extra embellishments to that card just make it so special. Great job as always!

Unknown said...

Both of your cards are beautiful (as always!) but I especially love the image and sentiment on the first card. Lovely Christmas cards today!
