Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

 MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Stampers and Papercrafters everywhere!  I hope this message finds you enjoying time with friends and family.  Enjoy every crazy moment of this holiday week!  And if you find the time to craft, enjoy those moments too.

Happy New Year!  May 2011 bring you lots of creativity and time to paper craft.  I'm hoping to have lots of crafting time in the new year to allow my creative juices to flow and to enjoy my personal therapy (stamping that is).

Thanks for taking the time to check out my blog!

Kids' Quick and Easy Thank You Cards

Need some quick and easy thank you cards for the kids to send family members after the holidays?  Look no further.  You can easily stamp a single image or multiple images using various stamps and a Thank You stamp onto a simple 4 1/4"x 5 1/2" sheet of cardstock and have the kids fill out the thank you.  To save on cardstock and/or postage, just cut 1 sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of cardstock into 4 pieces (4 1/4" x 5 1/2").  Below you will find holiday thank you cards made using a retired background stamp.  I just love how easy it is after the holidays for the kids and I to send out their thank you cards!  They color the snowman's scarf, hat and nose, fill out the Dear & the Thank you so much... part, sign their name and they're done.  I put address labels and stamps on envelopes for them and put the Thank You cards in the mail.  Quick, easy and a great lesson on values for the kids around the holidays.

Need some ideas or don't know how to get started?  Contact me today or check out my class schedule for upcoming dates.  I may even add in a Thank You Card Class in there after the holidays.
