The Winter Cards


What do you do in the winter when no gardening can be done and the holiday lights are being packed away?
I make cards.
These were my winter garden cards 


I"ve made my own Holiday/ winter cards for some time now.
Not because I did not like the selection of ready made cards' but because I consider my self creative, and I had the time, so why not.




The more detail,

the more time consuming they will become.

The detail is what makes them special.



The cards are all made from hand cut paper,doilies, and photo copies.

Really nothing special, scissors, exacto knife, glue, hole punchers.

 rolled, curled, folded, and fringe paper





I enjoy it



And so do my friends, clients and family members who receive them.



Hand made is sometimes just so much better,

 this we enjoy


My cards always have a gardening theme to them, and celebrate more of the season, rather than the Holiday.


 My card for you

Enjoy!!

A garden even in winter



Even if we are in the depths of winter, there is no reason why you still can not enjoy a garden.



Evergreens and preserved foliage make great companions
during this time of year





This is a view from inside that we like
A winter garden





No need to water, no weeding, and snow only makes it better.
