What do I mean?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I came across silhouettes of people skating that just happen to look EXACTLY like my children! This technique is not your typical Christmas design. Yet, the designs themselves are nostalgic for me.</span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Dancing Script; font-size: x-large;"><b>A Swiss-like Scene</b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmUdtPovdlJkyIalKC_QQJK6gjbs3b8i0uKELxUd6IBsaxcuSsLRLo7KEGoDnu6wLwuNZFMzV3UvcH_YjcH8ABIcHcyT7-UY3JjbJbdwfImMcm39fmX6oyLvbdo8_12RGDMYX88_-z4gpKqCebQbgeYu-9LJw-9V9wyP0PHxnMKDJTFO55D326_eMAjk-M/s2914/Couple%20Skating%20Christmas%20Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2198" data-original-width="2914" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmUdtPovdlJkyIalKC_QQJK6gjbs3b8i0uKELxUd6IBsaxcuSsLRLo7KEGoDnu6wLwuNZFMzV3UvcH_YjcH8ABIcHcyT7-UY3JjbJbdwfImMcm39fmX6oyLvbdo8_12RGDMYX88_-z4gpKqCebQbgeYu-9LJw-9V9wyP0PHxnMKDJTFO55D326_eMAjk-M/w509-h383/Couple%20Skating%20Christmas%20Card.jpg" width="509" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Daughter and Son-in-Law</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">My daughter and son-in-law love to travel.

But what does THAT mean? Believe in what?</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Of course, for many people, it is assumed that the word means believe in Santa Claus. However, the Christmas story, the REAL story is not about a jolly man in a red suit. In fact, St. Nicholas himself knew about and reverenced Jesus.</span></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">The Design</span></h2><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">The card is 5 x 7" in shades of soft teal, taupe and aqua, with accents of gold foil cardstock.</span></p><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEmYYyXLvIWqnGDMbYL0GTjU1XHCOzxNsTKe2K8RgDBm_CwzJnJwzls2WDekNDDkgJuv5pS4eGeuNgwwYBMDpRQhhXz_U0Os_v54KD3ptncrQ73iJHmZcdAhuQ88madIT6XHd2VsxppHur3d6gcq2dc2s5bxynCtSV9Hr9hPC24K9v1N5OFuQVS_lLUaiK/s3171/Front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3171" data-original-width="2413" height="523" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEmYYyXLvIWqnGDMbYL0GTjU1XHCOzxNsTKe2K8RgDBm_CwzJnJwzls2WDekNDDkgJuv5pS4eGeuNgwwYBMDpRQhhXz_U0Os_v54KD3ptncrQ73iJHmZcdAhuQ88madIT6XHd2VsxppHur3d6gcq2dc2s5bxynCtSV9Hr9hPC24K9v1N5OFuQVS_lLUaiK/w399-h523/Front.jpg" width="399" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I created this card as a reminder of the truth about Christmas. The Babe of Bethlehem, of course, refers to Jesus who is the entire reason for CHRISTmas. In fact, one fabulous Christmas store in Frankenmuth has become world-famous for its size and Christmas decorations, trees and ornaments. Busloads of people flock to Bronner's year round to experience the sparkle and delights the store holds.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">What I (and thousands of others) love is that Bronner's specializes in Nativity sets and scenes, and Christmas items that are all about the birth of Jesus, who was and still is, Saviour of the World.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Poem Inside: </span><span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Dancing Script; font-size: large;">My Christmas Wish for You</span></h3><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I wrote this special poem especially for Christmas 2020.

<h2>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Gift Tags in a Flash</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here is the quickest way to make pretty Christmas tags for your gifts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Start with a package or two of gift tag stickers. I bought mine from Joanne, on sale. Choose the red and green combo, gold and silver, or blue with silver. I like a variety to go with any bag or wrap.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZABpLn7wzmw/Wj1umLn4whI/AAAAAAAAY9M/tkc1wZ2aR94bCmrauj0RDRCNZU26k-u9gCLcBGAs/s1600/tags-from-scraps-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Quick gift tags from scraps - by Grace Baxter" border="0" data-original-height="820" data-original-width="990" height="331" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZABpLn7wzmw/Wj1umLn4whI/AAAAAAAAY9M/tkc1wZ2aR94bCmrauj0RDRCNZU26k-u9gCLcBGAs/s400/tags-from-scraps-1.jpg" title="Quick Gift Tags from Scraps - by Grace Baxter" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Gift tag stickers are, when stuck directly on a gift -- flimsy and ordinary. They also get thrown out with the ripped off wrappings. With my beefed-up tags, they can be used every year! Just save them after all the gifts are opened.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Tags From Scraps</span></h3>

<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JDMJhW7JdeE/Wj1ypkx2oxI/AAAAAAAAY9k/jWjwi0DgSBU8tiTpbKQ7CSXB0oy5krKZACLcBGAs/s1600/Foil-tags.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1043" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JDMJhW7JdeE/Wj1ypkx2oxI/AAAAAAAAY9k/jWjwi0DgSBU8tiTpbKQ7CSXB0oy5krKZACLcBGAs/s320/Foil-tags.jpg" width="306" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's a great way to use scraps of foil cardstock, which we know can be pricey. I also used regular matte red and green.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Punch the corners and punch a small hole for ribbon or cording to go through. I always have red, green, gold and silver cording on hand for Christmas tags.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">I also punched some tiny notes from silver CS to use either as confetti or to glue to other tags. I like the added gleam. Foil tags give sparkle on the gifts when the tree lights shine on them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I kept the backgrounds simple so as not to detract from all the details inside the globes. For both cards I used a snowflake sky that is shimmery. It provided just the right background for the snowman and the church.</span></div>

<h2>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In Quiet Elegance</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sometimes it is refreshing to pause and just reflect on the blessings of Christmas. In designing this card, I chose to step away from my usual fussing with details. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kw2v7IDLIY4/Vncf9VLq9UI/AAAAAAAAX0A/WuGI8sse12c/s1600/DSCN1051%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="blue sparkle tree card, designed by Grace Baxter" border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kw2v7IDLIY4/Vncf9VLq9UI/AAAAAAAAX0A/WuGI8sse12c/s320/DSCN1051%255B1%255D.jpg" title="Blue Sparkle Tree Card, designed by Grace Baxter" width="241" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The sentiment is simple. The tree is stately and elegant. Blue sparkly cardstock gives it life and shimmer. And for extra sparkle, I added an abundance of crystals.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Background of Noel</span></h3>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In the late 14th century, "Noel" meant "feast of Christmas" and from old French, noel means the Christmas season in reference to the birthday of Christ. As a masculine proper name, it means "born on Christmas". In that case, perhaps I should have named my Christmas Day son Noel (which would be pronounced "nowell" in its masculine form.)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Inside, there is a personal message.</span></div>

<h2>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sending Christmas Fun!</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This is a special card for a very special little boy. Daniel loves trains and I hope he will get a kick out of this one. It features HIM as the train engineer (teddy bear version), pulling a load of Christmas presents and of course, his parents too.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Card size is 12" wide by 5-1/2" high.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The greeting spreads out across all 3 panels. Letters are shiny silver stickers (much easier than trying to cut my own).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And that's where the time-saving ends. There are many layers to this card. It's one of those projects that seems simple enough to make, but requires a lot of patience! View the video below to see the dimension and shine better.</span></div>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">In my November 24th post, I offered a chance for my followers to share their favourite Christmas theme, and I would make a card featuring that theme.</span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">
</span> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">In response, Cocoa's Mom expressed her favourite theme:</span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">
</span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #494346; text-align: justify;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><i>What a fun idea, Grace! My favorite Christmas theme is the greenery. From the special 'Bringing in the Greens' service at church to the holly sprigs Mom tucked behind every picture to the tree lighting in the nearby town, this was the signal that the season was upon us. And, of course, my favorite carol is "The Holly and the Ivy!" : )</i></span></span></blockquote>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">So here is my card, designed from the inspiration Cocoa's Mom provided. I also love designing cards and tags around themes provided in Christmas Carols .

<h2>

<h3>
<span style="color: red; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Collection #2</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I've been in a digital Tag Creating FRENZIE!

Collection #1 tags are FREE to download and use on your own personal items, but not for resale.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am thrilled to be able to offer you EXTENDED FAMILY tags, along with all your favourite other family members tags. These are now available as a PDF sheet that prints out on your cardstock or purchased labels (from Staples or Office Depot).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The size of each individual tag fits onto a 3.5" wide x 2" high label. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Each Series in Collection #2 gives you all of the main titles. Some series also include extended family such as:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Step-Mom, Step-Dad, Boyfriend, Girlfriend, Aunt, Uncle.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Collection #2 is offered for the nominal price of $4.00 per set. Each SET is a unique design created in Christmas colours. Names are embellished with snow, glitter, foil, shine or stars (digital, of course). Each tag has the title "Merry Christmas" at the top but in varying font styles. See the samples below.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="color: red; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Customized Name Tags</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you want a different greeting at the top, I can do that for you. As part of your Collection #2, I am also offering something special for this Christmas!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you order a Set from Collection #2, you may ask to have TWO personalized names substituted for any 2 that come in the set. For example, if you want your son or daughter's name to appear instead of the generic "Son" "Daughter" title, just ask! No extra charge.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Time for a Change</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Hello fellow crafters and cardmakers! I have decided to change the way I will be blogging my cards and other projects.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From now on, I will post pictures of my projects and give very few, if any details on how I made them. Instead, I will be providing information sheets to any of my followers who want them. These will be downloadable PDFs.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why, you ask? For three reasons:</span></h3>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I want to have more personal connection to my followers, fans and other interested people.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I want to provide value to followers.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lastly, it takes a lot of time writing and designing blog posts. I am a stickler for detail and I would rather spend that energy preparing PDF downloads for those who really want the information.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been blogging since 2009, and it's a tough way to interact with visitors. And I wonder if people really care to know the details. Judging by the very few comments I receive, I would say no. Maybe it's overkill for me to painstakingly make note of all the measurements, cartridges used and descriptions of how I put things together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What Will Change</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here's how I will save time... mine and yours, as the reader. For the time being, I will continue posting my cards and other projects. I also have all my cards on my Pinterest boards for </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><a href="http://gracenotes4today.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Grace Notes for Today</a></b></i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, and </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>It's All About Christmas.</b></i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> In addition, I have a Facebook page where I post </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">all</b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> cards and card-like projects from </span><u style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">both blogs</u><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. Add to that my Twitter page, which, admittedly, is not always up-to-date. </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>See below for links to my social media pages.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><b><br /></b></span></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Perks for Followers</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Followers will now get preferential treatment and downloadable goodies. You will also get extra pictures and diagrams that are not displayed on the blogs. And I will feel happier knowing that I can explain in detail all the things I want you to know on any given project. But again, </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">they must be requested</b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u><br /></u></span>

<h2>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Wise Men Still Seek Him</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My final Christmas card of 2014 is one that points us to the real meaning of Christmas. Many of you comment that you appreciate my more spiritual cards. To me, they are where Christmas begins, and the holiday would be meaningless without the truth of Christ's birth at the centre of it all.</span><br />

Details</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This 5"x7" card has a white base. I had a pretty blue sky-like paper in my stash that always looked like a night sky to me. This became the background.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What makes the card special is the title phrase: "Wisemen Still Seek Him". </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Note: I know there is a similar phrase on the <i>Winter Frolic</i> cartridge, but they substituted the word "seek" with "adore". Though a nice thought, the Magi who saw the star and followed it, were <u>seeking</u> the newborn king. The truth is, <u>wise</u> men and women do seek Him. First we seek, then we find, then we adore.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I created the phrase on my Gypsy using two favourite new fonts from <i>Library Fonts. </i>The phrase is cut from sturdy silver cardstock.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Wisemen were stamped on white cardstock with black ink and heat embossed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The star centre is accented with a crystal gem.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Late Christmas Eve, I was finishing up a few cards. This one was easy to pull together. The textured paper with the sign on the fence was already enough.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But of course, to add more interest I had to add the cute little vintage sled and an extra layer of snow, cut freehand and sparkled with glitter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To make the sign 3D, I added glitter to snowy tops of the letters. This is a 5"x6-1/2" card with a white base.</span><br />

<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes, It is Still the Season!</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Even though Christmas Day is past, we are still enjoying Christmas week up until New Year's Day. Here's a STEP card created for my daughter. It is reminiscent of her skating on a pond last winter, doing what she calls her "fancies".</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There's not a lot to explain about this one. The picture pretty much says it all. The cartridge used for this card is <i>Winter Frolic.</i> I added facial features with ProMarkers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the verse, I composed the poem, formatted it in Word and printed it on white cardstock (not paper). The back card panel is the perfect place for the poem.</span></div>
