Since the holiday season can be hectic and distracting, I wanted to give myself the gift of time this year; time to create. When I am creating, I am able to focus my thoughts and feel peace. Besides, it’s fun!

This year I really wanted to make my own Christmas cards, but I wanted to make each one different and unique; unless I just fall in love with the design and can think of different color schemes and such to add interest. That’s the case with this cute card. I love the texture and natural colors of the ribbons! And, while it’s difficult to see, the gold star reflects the tiny gold specks in the ribbon I used for the trunk. I have some additional color ideas for this fun design that I will be testing in the next few days.

Merry Christmas to all!
