I know y'all are like "FINALLY"!!! LOL
I finally kicked all this sickness that's been going around (still a little - OK a LOT - tired but no more throat scratchiness/coughing/congestion/etc etc etc). It's been 2 weeks (and everyone around here seems to keep it for 2-3 weeks - blech) so I am ready to get back to a normal schedule!
SO - if you missed any of my previous Holiday Card Series posts/videos you can check them out here:

For today's video I actually made 4 cards but only filmed making the one - as I kept them all really similar just used different images and sentiments. Basically showing a way to mass produce but changing things up a bit (b/c if you're like me you can get bored making the SAME card over and over and over again!).
These cards LOOK really detailed and time-consuming - but in all honesty once I had it all planned out (chose my papers, images, layout, colors and embellishments etc) they came together really quickly - the longest part was the coloring and even that went quick since they're snowmen - not a whole lot to color ;)
Anywho here they are:
