Ok...so it did feel a little odd to be making a Christmas card in May. It is hard to even think about Christmas when we are enjoying such nice weather outside. But, as I said yesterday, I have been working on a set of cards for a friend and wanted to send her cards for many different occasions.
And, I will admit that I am addicted to these partial front cards. They really turn out so pretty, and they are super easy and fast. If you didn't see the tutorial at the Shelly's Images Blog you can find it here.

This is awesome Shelly! LOVE your coloring and the added sparkle is PERFECT! I know what you mean about making Christmas cards in May ... hard to do!
