Default I need some good advice pleeeeeeez.......

hi everyone!
I'm Tracey Malnofski and I own The Stamping Boutique. I'm thinking about what I'm going to draw for my Holiday images this year. I don't want to do too many so I'd like to do either whimsical or more elegant/traditional. Can anyone give me some advice on what they'd like to see this year???
Thank you so, so much!

I personally go for more fun and whimsical images for my holiday cards.

Thanks.

Personally I like Christian images for my Christmas Cards. Three Kings, manger scene, shepherds with star, angels, etc. It IS the reason for the season. Please do at least one of those. I'd especially like a shepherds one. Everyone does the wisemen and creche - but not the shepherds.

I like snowmen and Santas but I like some elegance too. Ornaments are fun to color, fairies and little girls/boys are nice.

I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help. I love anything that is Christmas themed.

I have tons of whimsical sets and singles. I love reindeer and penguins. That said, I really want some nativity scene's. I kinda like the idea of those scene's being whimsical though. Another thing to consider is vintage snowmen, santa's etc. I haven't seen many of those.

My preference is for more classic images. And not just the usual stuff, but how about an outdoor scene - like a door with a wreath, a hill with pine trees, etc.

I'm the more traditional type usually with my Christmas cards. especially any that have a faith based theme. a star of wonder, angels, nativity as was mentioned.
thanks!

This is my preference too. In fact I ALWAYS send Christ centered Christmas cards And, because His birth was not cute or whimsical I prefer traditional nativity scenes without tiny kiddos playing the parts.

I can do cute for other holidays, just not for Christmas and Easter.

Hi Tracey;
I saw the cutest card in the gallery done with a cute clown. She said it was circus AJ from the Stamping Boutique but when I went to your site I couldn't find it. Do you have a digital stamp like that or do you know of one?
Thank You,
Tonie Barrett

Wow! Thank you so much everyone! For some reason, I haven't been getting updates on the messages here and I didn't realize so many people had given me advice. This is great! It's not easy to come up with ideas and a I really appreciate the ideas from other crafters.

I would love more Christian stamps and more whimsical, cute Christmas stamps!
