I made my own Christmas Cards again this year, it's a tradition now I've kept it up 2 years running so there's no going back now!
I went a bit crazy scouting out the $2 shop and Spotlight for stickers and embellishments there are just so many to choose from. I bought some sets of cards and envelopes as well as some mix-matched ones just to change it up a bit. I already have heaps of different papers and borders to use and now they're all organised in my lil craft drawers it was so easy to make them.
This year my creative girlfriends came over and made some cards too, lured by a dinner of beef and red wine casserole and the best creamy mash in the world!
This is my stash of festive cheer ... it did grow substantially since this photo but I was so excited to use it all I didn't manage to take another photo before I used it!

Is it just me or is there a rapid decline in posting Christmas cards now? Could it be the higher postage fees or emails vs snail mail tirade?

Good on you for making your own beautiful cards - I had similar intentions this year but time just ran away from me. My mailbox has been less full this Christmas too - only yesterday I was saying to my friend how a lot of people seem to have cut out cards :(
