Christmas Quotes

Great Christmas quotes to add to your handmade Christmas cards. I love collecting quotations from famous people and have compiled a whole book on all kinds of quotations.

So I thought that you might like to add some of these Christmas quotes to your homemade Christmas cards. I usually print them out on cardstocks, trim around them and layer them onto card blank front. Add a punch flower or two or some other embellishments and my cards are done.
