We were challenged to create a card for a holiday other than our own. I decided to share THREE! Yes, I have been a craftin' fool.
First up is a first for me. I have African American friends but have never sent a Kwanzaa card to any of them. I know for a fact that one of the families does celebrate this holiday so shame, shame, what's my name...
Problem solved:
Next, for your viewing pleasure:
I have several atheist friends and they like a good holiday as much as anyone. They usually either celebrate a secular Christmas (I'm not sure how that works???) or Winter Solstice. They love to point out that their holiday is older than all the others. That's true, can't argue it!
And for my final card, I want to wish all my bestest friends on the PTI forum and in my real life, the best Christmas yet. May you all have peace, love and happiness for the upcoming year... and of course, I'll work Christmas Eve for you again!

Beautiful! I love the colors on the Kwanzaa card. The Solstice coloring is so pretty! And what a creative card! The Christmas tree is gorgeous!!
Oh Patty, these are wonderful! The bright non-traditional colors of the Kwanzaa card are just rad and it's a great LO too. But that Winter Solstice card stole my heart. I wish it were coming to me...We celebrate in a big way at our house.
Lovely cards, all three!
These are all wonderful! Great work!
These are fab, Patty! I never got around to saying Thank you for the beautiful card you made me...shame, shame on me! I love it! I think your card making skills rock :o) Hope you're having a great day!
