One of my favorite things about the holiday season is receiving cards from friends and family. Many times this is the only time I "talk" to them and I love to see how everyone is doing and changing. Being friends with many 'mos means I do not get a great return on investment in my cards (I think Brad and Andy were the only couple to send one) but I still love making and sending them as well.
One of the best ideas I got from A. Edwards, scrapper extraordinaire, is to use a square punch to preserve parts of the cards on a layout. It is a great way to get most of your cards onto a page, save the best part and save space as well. Today I got a little punch happy and made a 2-page spread that I love.
I think this holiday I made more holiday-oriented layots than I have the entire time I have been scrapping! I guess I was in the mood. Too bad I have to wait a 11 more months before I can get back into the spirit of things!

i do love the holiday card layout idea that i stole from you and have used for years! i guess i shouldn't feel bad since you stole the idea from someone else! or "scrap-lifted" the idea, rather ;-) i need to do my cards from 2007 - i think my last holiday card layout was 4 or 6 pages - lots of cards and don't have amny friends that are 'mos ;-)
