Fabulous! So glad you've made your own cards; I'm doing some of that. Thanks for sharing the greetings.

I am waaaay too lazy to make my own! Good for you; your friends will be getting a wonderful gift!

Russ Rose		15-Dec-2008 23:30
It is the season to put all of this together. This is an excellent composition.

Oh, yes. That has to be done. You have captured this very well. A lovely warm feeling. Pleasant colours, great composition. V

I usually rubber stamp and emboss mine. Yours are lovely. The pudding looks scrumptuous!

Phillip Normanton		14-Dec-2008 17:07
Oooh, a Christmas Pud card - yum :)

Nicki Thurgar		14-Dec-2008 16:42
It's always lovely to get something hand made... your cards look beautiful!

Walter Otto Koenig		14-Dec-2008 16:42
Great idea these beautiful cards and thank you for including the greetings. I learned something new again. In German Merry Christmas is Frohe Weihnachten and in Indonesian it is Selamat Hari Natal.

Ann...		14-Dec-2008 16:19
You are very industrious!! Lovely cards.

Johnny JAG		14-Dec-2008 16:10
I made mine last week, now I just need to send them! I love the greetings.

These are really nice. The personal touch adds so much!

Sheila		14-Dec-2008 14:20
I used to make my own years ago. I like receiving home made ones. Did you also make the cake (or pudding) in your shot? Looks so delicious.

Kathryn		14-Dec-2008 13:45
That is a wonderful idea. They look really professional. 'A Very Happy Christmas'. I am definitely going to write mine today.

Jola Dziubinska		14-Dec-2008 13:27
What a great idea to make your own cards. They look very pretty and in season mood.
