Don’t worry…if you click this dear picture it will get larger for you. I am playing with different formats for the pictures on my new blog. Just please bear with me…thanks!
So don’t you just love a non-traditional Christmas card? Well…maybe you don’t! Hee hee. I just thought I would challenge myself a little. I think it turned out quite elegant. A little colored pearls added to a neutral color scheme really intensifies the feel of the whole card. I also used dimensionals to pop up some of the leaves to really give the card a feeling of motion. Why don’t you try and “Christmas up” a stamp set you have? It will be fun!
So what will you be doing today? My parents will be here by the time you read this, so I will be spending some time with them getting caught up. I also have to teach Bible Study on Wednesday, so I will be preparing for that as well. I have to finish up a couple of Papertrey projects for the release on the 15th! Yay! There is some really fun stuff this release, so I hope you have been checking in on Nichole’s blog for all of the pre-release fun!
