Even if you are not good in drawing, you can still create beautiful Christmas cards. Cut out Christmas motifs from magazines, preferably colorful ones, and glue them together on a piece of paper (e.g. in several layers). It sounds simple, but you can really make very beautiful and creative cards in no time.
This Special Christmas Card arrived in my email box two nights ago. It is not the first Christmas card I received in 2007 but it is the very first Christmas card from a blogger friend. Although I am an old-fashioned girl who loves to receive my letters & cards in the old-fashioned way, i.e., via post, this meaningful card from a wonderful friend is very much appreciated from the bottom of my heart.
The Watauga County Arts Council (WCAC) has been creating ways to sponsor local artists for the last 31 years and will be introducing their newest project this fall, a Christmas Card Competition, which they intend to make annual. This was one of the many ideas discussed by the development committee and was chosen because they hoped limited availability of the cards would encourage buyers interested in specialized cards for friends and family.
When asked if she felt the development committee might like to break off into other holidays Executive Director Cherry Johnson responded that she thought “they’d love that idea!”
Money raised through the sale of these cards will benefit the Arts Council which works to support local artists by getting their work out there in the community and providing them with resources and workshops as well as supporting educational art programs for the children of Watauga County. Their goal is to protect Appalachian artistry and to continue to encourage and educate the High Country community through art.
