I've been accumulating lots of scraps and ephemera odds and ends from the scrapbook pages I've been making for Shimelle's Pretty Paper Party class. So, I sat down to make some cards with them. These two Christmas cards came together very easily. But the rest of the scraps left me feeling uninspired. I did, however, find in my crafting bag a ziplock baggie full of photographs, matching card stock mats and card blanks to make a whole batch of photo cards. I have a vague recollection of putting this kit together for a crop once upon a time. So, I sat down with my paper trimmer and ATG gun and whipped up these cards in no time flat:
So happy to have them done! And extra happy to have them out of my bag!

Photo cards are my favourites and I am very impressed with your using up of scraps - well done!
Love your photo cards too. Such a fabulous way of sending greetings and one I hadn't thought of before but will certainly be considering now I have see yours.
Love, Love, Love all your cards. I should get Krissy to do some photo cards for me with some of her pics. Kewlio!
Beautiful! I rarely think to use photos on my cards, but yours are inspiring me.
great cards! i especially like the one featuring your photo of the tree.
Nifty idea for a 10 post! Photo cards always feel very special and personal, like the photo was taken just for you
Your photos cards cheered me up.
Beautiful cards!!! I love using my scraps!!!
Love your cards. I am so glad you posted this because you have inspired me and giving me an idea for a Christmas gift for my mom. She love having cards on hand for all those special occasions. I think she'll like this idea. Thanks, Rinda. Oh and I'm looking forward to see the scrapbook. :)
Beautiful cards - I have never thought of using my photos on cards - maybe I will try some.
It's really time I had a card-making session... how long is it since I last did?
Love those cards - the photo ones are just great (and the Christmas cards from scraps are quite inspiring!)
I had lunch yesterday with a friend that does the photography for all her cards. between the two of you,I believe I am inspired :)
Cute cards!
Great use of your scraps (I have tons of scraps as well and try to use them constantly), and I really like your photo cards. The green and purple work nicely with each other.
I've never thought of photo-cards before...thanks for the inspiration Rinda!
