Inspired By #193C

'Tis the Season, alright!  The season for making Christmas cards for all our friends, and those sweet senior citizens on my very long list!

I just love the print in our Inspired By #IB193C photo prompt - and have just the jolliest old friends to represent it well.  Reverse Confetti's Christmas duo from Jolly Holiday, has been around for a few years now, and so has their North Pole Wishes.  My packages come from a Janes Doodles set, and the fun scallops are another oldie from Papertrey Ink.  


Gosh.  It makes me wonder why I keep buying new, when the old looks fresh as new?  Okay.  We won't go there.
But we will be going to our gallery this week to see which prompt our friends have chosen - the countdown begins now! and there is a Fall, 
and Sketch option, too!

So cute, Michele. I found a few images that you stamped and gave me that I finally turned into cards. So old is good and sometimes great like your card.

Another fun play day with Marcia....Crafting with friends is always good x. Such a joy with your first card with great stencilling and such a pretty design. Striking second one with a beautiful colour combination and yes Marcia sure did spoil you with card number three. Thanks for sharing these beauties Michele x.

This is so cute! I could never tell these are 'old' supplies (which is pretty much all I own, and so enjoy taking the time to give the old friends {stamps} some love).
