Christmas card with concert ticket

Today I made a last last minute Christmas card as I needed something to pack a present  -  a concert ticket for Bryan Adams, who will come to Germany again in March 2012. I wanted it to look nice...

I also tried real sewing with my mom's sewing machine for the first time. I have no clue how to use a sewing machine, so I got a small introduction from my mom and then I sew around the papers... It's not that uniform yet, but I made it.

Christmas cards for my pen pals 2011

These are the Christmas cards I made for my pen pals and friends abroad this year
I had been doing the same Christmas cards 36 times so far. I don't want to send different cards to my pen pals and friends abroad, as they do know each other as well (at least some of them), and I don't want them to be jealous because another one got a prettier Christmas card. I still have 14 more to go...
I made those cards with 3 different images and in 3 different languages (English, Spanish and German). .
