What's the best card you RECEIVED this year?

Did anyone receive any great handmade cards this year? I though we should have a thread to show off the favorite paper goods we got instead of gave.

(I didn't get any, boohoo, but I got big shipments of cookies and fudge so I can't complain!)

I did one of my friends combined the collage photos they took with a great window card and a great folded christmas tree on the front..I got a total of 5 handmade cards. Some more "loving hands" than others but all appreciated and loved.

My real-life stamping friend gave me two of my favourite cards.
Here they are:
I Love Paris by ladybug91743 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
and
La Tour Eiffel by ladybug91743 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
She knows I love Paris.

A Hallmark. I guess that is quite acceptable as I rarely received one because most of my friend send me an e-card, (that's what technology can do).

My best friend and I are both cardmakers, but we send only Hoops and YoYo cards to one another. Go figure!

SophieLaFontaine, the Eiffel Tower card is gorgeous!

She just started to scrapbook and stamp. She made a beautiful professional looking card for us. Took her a long time. She borrowed a rubber stamp of a deer from a lady in her church and made a lovely job of it. I was so impressed. Better than what I had ever made. She is very exact. I did give her some cardstock months earlier and some of my excess stuff and she used it all.

Before their wedding in 2010 I did get her a scor buddy and showed her how to use it and she made all her own invitations and bulletins for the church.

She has since made some scrapbooks - one of their honeymoon and they look great.

I didn't receive any handmade cards. Come to think of it, I didn't receive but a couple of store-bought cards. I think the economy has forced people to cut back, not only on the big stuff, but the little things.

this year I got more Picture cards than I have ever received in the past..about 18 total and about 15 regular store purchased and about 5 hand made..

no handmade cards for me, but a very special one from a very good friend with a hand print of her 2 years old in it...very special!
