This is a really pretty design. It shows that just about any collection can be turned into something Christmas-ey with a little imagination!

This is a cute card and fun with the paint. But I have to be honest and tell you that I am not a fan of the sentiment x-mas. I believe it crosses (or x's) out Christ. I have always strongly believed it was important to say, write and use the whole sentiment of Merry Christmas. I know people say, well, it is just faster. But after all Jesus has done for us, I believe we can take the time to use the whole sentiment and include Christ. Merry Christmas to all of you.
