A tad tedious but fun, nonetheless. I made a few alterations but was inspired to do this by a photograph at http://www.KyleColby.com/. You’ll find a lot of great photographs on that site. Check it out.

Outside on the top; inside on the bottom.

I hope you have enjoyed this tour of Christmas cards. Regardless of your faiths and beliefs, I wish this Christmas Day brings you joy. And again, thanks to David Hopson and his artistic skills for putting these together.

Do you recognize the bells from a previous card? Beside our church is a pathway enveloped by rows of live oak trees. We like to call that “Oak Alley.” I represented that within the silhouette of the sanctuary, then added the nativity scene. David Hopson added the star.

This is the inside of that card.

Thanks once more to David Hopson.

I thought the inside and outside of the card both looked nice so I decided to show them separately. I’ll show you the inside of the card with the next post.

Thanks again to David Hopson for putting these together.
