So far the only Christmas cards I have made have been for Operation Write Home to make their early October deadline. I really need to get started on my own cards to send to family and friends. Thank goodness my friends Catherine Pooler and Maureen Merritt have come up with a fun new class to get my mojo flowing!
After seeing all the classroom has to offer I was so inspired that I made my first Christmas card of the season this morning.
Even with my cold lingering on I was able to complete this card from start to finish in 20 minutes. That's saying a lot when you consider my Holiday supplies were hidden away from last year and my craft table is a MESS.

Fabulous, Heather! You are an amazing part of our site. MWAH!
I LOVE your card, Heather and love working on the Design team with you! XO
I'd like to start my Christmas cards (at least, figuring out the design/layout at CKC Seattle) :P Thanks for the opportunity to win a class.
Thanks to you both for opportunity to win a class. Great card!
Love the bling on this card!
What a wonderful card, Heather. I am ready to work on cards right now, but it will be a couple weeks before I can get started - so by the 15th of November for sure.
I have to start in July if I want to have enough completed by December 1st. I am a little behind this year :)
How exciting! My favorite time to start Christmas cards is sometime in the first week of November. I have to wait until Halloween is over to get in the mood for the holidays.
If I could I would start now to make cards, but I just don't think it will be happening soon. I've never yet made my own Christmas cards... hopefully someday soon! Yours is gorgeous Heather!

I will start my Christmas cards after Halloween - and after my hubby leaves for an extended business trip. I'll have lots of evening time to work on my crafty stuff. (So bittersweet, eh?) I love your card--and thanks for letting us know how long it took to make! Sometimes I wonder if I'm just super slow!!
Yes Heather this card and all of the cards that are coming out of this class are awesome!!! I to want to say how great it is to have you on the design teams as all of you complement the other just a great team of designers!
I can relate to what so many of you have said. I "should" start in July, but I just can't seem to get in the mood until it's cold outside. :)
Thank you so much Linda! It has been a joy to be a part of the design team at StampNation. I still don't feel "worthy" of the spot, but I'm having fun!
I start making them as soon as the holiday catalogues come out usually. This year I have stacks made already - in fact I may have too many and have to give them away to random strangers!
