    This is my final entry into the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers (BYSHC) annual Christmas in July Linky Party. It features a fun-to-color printable Christmas card that I discovered when I was the manager of an after-school program a few years ago. The agency where I worked staffed a middle-school program in four school districts. I enjoyed being part of the exciting, but also exhausting, adventure as we provided weekly educational sessions, large and small group games, field trips, snacks, and more. I was blessed to be able to provide art lessons and craft projects to interested students. They loved coloring and creating as much as I did, so I was able to do both… while I was “on the clock”! Many of them liked making cards, and this is one that they asked for… partly because there were four options they could choose from: Snowmen, Wreath and Mistletoe, Nativity, Santa & Toys (the one on my card).  Note- Click the link in my supplies list to see pics of each of the options, and gain access to them by providing your email addy!
