I'll Be Home For Christmas

 
Thought I was all done with my holiday cards, but rec'd some in the mail from the guys at the company my husband used to work at before he retired.  I have a hard time making cards for men so picked this generic holiday door scene that I found at the Silhouette Store.  Cut out all pieces from Bazzill cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo.  Love that these are standard size and flat so I don't have to pay extra postage to mail them.
