Christmas in . . . March!

You know how over at the PTI forum, there's a thread that focuses on getting Christmas cards done throughout the year rather than facing a huge task at the last minute? Here's my first effort for Christmas 2011! These are the first of the cards for my book group. I can't resist stamps that involve books and/or reading, and so when I first saw Bellas a couple of years ago, it was a no brainer that Bookwormabella was my first one! I decided on an easy to reproduce design, and it proved to be . . . except for the coloring, of course! Man, that takes a long time. But, I only have 12 to make, so if I do 4 per month, I'll have them done in no time. I, um, was way too on top of things and cleaned everything up without writing down a supply list so . . . sorry about that. :-> That's Bookwormabella by Stamping Bella, of course, sheer ribbon from Michaels, buttons from PTI, a Spellbinders labels nestie, and odds and ends of Christmas papers from the last few years. And a bunch of Copics. :-D
