It's that time of the year... The Christmas gifts are moved from around my desk to their respective places and it's time to write thank-you cards.
I know that writing thank-you cards are probably a little old-fashioned for some people, but I really like doing it (to the point of being a little perplexed that I can't send one to my friend overseas due to her location). If you want to read a post about my perspective of writing thank-you notes, I wrote one last year: "Why I Don't Write Thank-You Notes." ;)
Sometimes, I get to feeling a little crafty. Last year, I created a few printable thank-you notes. But this year, with more space (having moved into our new home) and a little more time (since we're not building), I took a few evenings to make some hand-made cards. It was like rediscovering a lost love. I enjoyed it so much! You'll see a decided musical theme for my cards. ;) I'm sorry... I couldn't help it. Music just makes a really good substance for cards -- and, music is so me. :)
Have you ever made cards? What are your favorite things to use?
Now for the cards (excuse the pictures... I didn't feel like being fancy here and just took snap-shots)...

Oh, what pretty cards, Amanda! I know each person to receive one of your lovely handmade cards will be ever so touched! I love how you incorporated music into almost all your cards... My sister is music obsessed too - it is truly wonderful!
Ah...card making is so refreshing indeed! I also made some cards this week...so wonderful to create! It has been far too long since I last did some paper crafting...
Blessings and love on this glorious day!

@ Kelly-Anne - thank you very much! :) I love hearing about other card-makers out there. :) Have you experimented with other paper crafts? (I have not...)
Those cards are so beautiful. And the snap-shots look really good to me.
Last year, Mama and I really got into paper quilled card making. It is so relaxing making each little piece and then putting everything together. I love seeing things come to life. I do a lot of flower designs, but I have recently looked into bugs, birds and a few other things, too.
In Christ,

@ Kayla - thank you!
Oh! Paper quilling! My older sister did those for a little while. I never attempted it, but it looks so amazing!!!! I'd love to see pics some day of yours. :)
