Hi all!
It’s Christmas Eve Eve. :) Time to look back at some archived Christmas fun. For those of you that are just discovering my blog, this will be new. But for those who have been with me since the beginning (bless you!), this will be a walk down memory lane. :) And if you have a favorite vintage holiday card or post from my blog, please leave a comment telling me (and others) what it was. I think the best part of having a blog that’s nearly 4 years old is looking back on old entries and discovering something “new.” :)

Kristina, have a very happy Christmas. You are so generous with your time and your talent and your blog is one that I visit again and again and is somwhere that I always find fabulous inspiration and fun! Have a truly magical time, love Jo x
They are all wonderful. I’ve read your blog for a year so most of the cards are new for me. Thanks again for having done 25 days of Christmas this year. I love it!!! Have a peaceful and wonderful Christmas.
Thank you so much, Kristina!!!
This was such a fun post! I think I started following you blog December 2007, I can’t believe it has been 2 years. I really like this card, the scallop edge technique and I just love the colors. I remember really liking the original Christmas music on the video too.

Have a very merry Christmas!
It is hard to choose my favorites since I love them all and look forward to Monday’s and Friday’s for your new ones. I do have two that inspired me to make my own cards last year… they are from MACM Merry Christmas (Clear) 11/10/08 and MACM Merry & Bright posted 11/03/08. I really loved them and made my cards from those!

Hey!
sorry this comment has nothing to do with this post. i ran out of adhesive in the middle of a scrapbook and ran to the store today to buy more. i remember you recommending tombow mono and i was surprised at the price of adhesives these days. I looked up the refills online and i thought i would send you the link because i know you use tombow mono aswell. I dont work for the company for anything. just thought it was a good deal. happy holidays.

I loved those cards in the first post but my favorite-ist card ever is your “merry little Christmas” card from late 2008.
Merry Christmas Kristina!!
My favorite of your project is Virtual Card Club in April.
I went to Las Vegas last week with my husband and his friend’s family and I got idea of making Travel mini book for them. And that was a hit!! Thank you for sharing great ideas!!!
I love the card you did for your first Make a Card Monday!! Thanks for sharing! Hope you have a merry Christmas!
I’m one of the newbies so this was fun to see what I had missed. Thanks for sharing your creativity…Have a very Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane! :-) Merry Christmas, Kristina… May 2010 be a peaceful, healthy, prosperous year for you and yours! ~Mary
hi!
i’ve been a fan (and in blog terms, a follower) of your blog for the last eight months, and you’ve done many things that i’ve enjoyed and have inspired me.
a few of my favorites:
your first MACM-that “merry” card is just adorable.
the 25 days of christmas series
the MACM-sweet card
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRRns0zekHo
last but not least- the tour of your scraproom! that was so much fun to watch.
thanks for all the time & effort you put into your blog. i look forward to seeing what you come up with in 2010.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
I love your work, I follow you daily even if nothing is new just to be sure I did not miss an email from you regarding your site. I just learned about your site in late summer and started my own blog in September 09. I look forward to 2010 and seeing what you have to show. You do awesome work and love the clear details, simplicity but elegant look to what you do. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
merry christmas!
thanks for sharing all your great ideas and tips! wishing you a merry christmas and new year.
one question: what do you do with any “ugly” cards you migh make? do you give them out? (and by “ugly” i’m pretty certain any “ugly” cards you have ever made are probably still nicer than my best ones):)
Hey there Kristina, I don’t have one favorite item, Everything you make are ALL my FAVORITES!!! Keep up the beautiful work & looking forward to 2010 to see what you have cooking up for us!!!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!

Kristina,
It’s only been a couple of months since I discovered your WONDERFUL blog…I always look forward to viewing your videos! You are a true inspiration. (I have also enjoyed going back to view your creations I’ve missed from the past…I have lots of catching up to do.) ALL of your creations are absolutely LOVELY…it’s difficult to select a favorite. Thank you so much for your time, dedication, and willingness to share. Looking forward to seeing what you will create in 2010. Merry Christmas and many blessings to you!
I was wondering about your private life if you don’t mind. I presumed you were single, but in one of the above older links you mention your four year old?? Or did I get off track and get that off one of the other blogs from this site?
Just wanted to say “Happy new year from Israel”.
L O V E your blog. Learned so much from it so thank you!
Hi Kristina! Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I loved your blog since the first day I visited you. Thanks for your great effort this year. Your blog became one of the best things this Christmas. Bless you and have a Merry Christmas and many blessings in the year to come.
I have 2 all time faves….both of which I play when I need to get into the zone to either get a card done for someone or prep for a workshop. The second I must have played a hundred times, fell in love with the original song you had with it, which is now on my iPod for stampin & such.
If my 5 &6 year old kids are sniping at each other, all I have to do is yell, “who wants to watch a MACM viveo?” problem solved.

Merry Christmas from Nottingham, England. Hope you have a fabulous Christmas and New Year and look forward to seeing you new creations in the New Year xx
Somebody on SCS made a card based on one of your MACM cards (feb. 18th 2008). So I checked it out on youtube, found your blog and I’m a follower ever since that time. And when you put that same card in your etsy shop I bought it immediatly. It hangs on the wall in my craftroom.

Hi – How can you ask us to choose!
They are all fabulous. Thanks for being so dedicated to your blog and hence creating a dedicated fan base! You are creative awesomeness!
Happy Holidays!
Jo
Well, ya know I love hanging around here… and I’ve been hangin’ a while! I love those first cards too! MY all time favorite was the one you made with the punched circles turned ornaments.
Hope you have a very Merry Christmas! Hugs!
Love your blog. Thank you for sharing so many of your beautiful creations. I love the pink tree card

from your “soft christmas colors” blog post. Wondering if you would consider making a tutorial on how to dry emboss a frame on your card like you did on that one. I don’t own a die cut system so I don’t have a way of using those fabulous nestability dies that can do it for you. If there is a way to dry emboss without all that I would love to learn how. =) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas to you and all your family !
Thank you for your creativity !
Thank you so much for posting all your cards. My crafting has changed because of you! All the best for 2010 and i look forward to more to come!!! nTake good care!
I made the rolls for Christmas and they were wonderful!! I also made cinnamon rolls with the recipe and they turned out great also!! Thanks!
Happy Holiday Season to you and a wonderful New Year! I can’t wait to see the ghosts of chirstmas future, the past and present have all been wonderful. The first set is my favourite as well, tough pick though.
Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and thoughts with us all. I hope all your dreams for 2010 come true.
Hello Kristina. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Thank you for the recap. My favorite card was the have fun and merry Christmas. I look forward to your blog for 2010. Hope the new year brings you many good things.
