@EclecticDreamer , you didn’t use a Spirograph, did you?
I’m sure I’m dating myself (do folks even know what a Spirograph IS anymore?)
cool card!

Yes! Bought one a few years ago at a yard sale. I’m still not that good with it, but as an adult… finding out it came with instructions! Who knew?! (Not 6 yr old me for sure). Also a local store with a kids toys section had a spirograph keychain and the worlds smallest spirograph this year so I bought those, too. I used the keychain for the cards.

2024 Christmas Card Swap - from geekgirl

I was starting to side eye the mail a little bit as things have been so slow here lately. But it was worth the wait and has brought me some appreciated holiday cheer today! Thanks, everyone, for sharing your creativity and kind words with me!

I have now received my last three cards, thank you all for such a fantastic swap and such a lovely variety of cards - I love them all :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Firstly from @EclecticDreamer, another gorgeous spirograph design

Next up, from @curiousfae, such a cute idea and a bit of crafting thrown in

And then from @LovelyMiss, such a pretty card, and the shine on those snowflakes!


I couldn’t resist a close up…

I hope everyone has the most fantastic time, whatever your celebrations look like, over the next couple of weeks. I am off to rural France to spend the time with my Dad, and I am having to take my (fake) tree and decorations with me, because he refuses to buy one! :rofl: :rofl:

here are my last 3 cards!

From @LovelyMiss - a fun sunflake card. I am hoping for snow.

From @Immaculata - clever upcycling by using wallpaper!

and from @seeuudee - Spot bumped my hand while I was holding my coffee and opening my mail so I ended up with coffee splatters on your card. I think of it as Spot’s signature, he’s always knocking over my beverages or making me spill them.

OMG! I just discovered my post sitting in pending photo upload status for the past 4 days. And I have to reattach the photo as it still never uploaded. Posting for the update, and will edit to load pic later.

Edit: here’s the card!

Thank you!
