Xmas Cards ~ A Start!

I know ... I know ... it's only August, but believe me I am late getting started compared to some of the more organised in the craft fraternity.
Here are a couple of cards as a start for my Xmas 2008 box.

I literally have hundreds of cards to make and many of them will be much more basic than these 2, but I wanted to make a start on some 'special' ones for close family and friends otherwise they'll be getting 'basic' too ... and that just wouldn't do.

The gatefold one uses scrapbook papers left over from last year which is very simply adhered to a mirri card base and secured with ribbon.

I have yet to add the personal message which will be hung from the brad inside.

The ZigZag card also uses pretty snowflake paper from last year's supplies along with silver mirri card, but this time the personal message will be tucked into the pockets.
