It's hard to believe that another Christmas has come and gone! I was thrilled to finally get into the spirit of creating digital cards! Maybe I spent less time creating them digitally than I normally do with cutting and piecing by hand -- maybe not! I just know that I had a great time making the Christmas card with lots of "stamped" layers. Loved using blue as the base. Also, the thank you card was something I decided to do at the last minute to thank family and friends. Hopefully everyone appreciated them!
In my world, Christmas isn't quite what it used to be. It has become so commercial that I rebel at times. I still make my own cards (see previous post) and many of my gifts (lots of homemade vanilla!). Then along come this wonderful gift, handmade by my mom! She took a small aluminum garbage can and tole painted it. She uses hers for birdseed -- I might do the same! Check out the picture of the painted scoop! Yes, she painted that too! Thanks Mom for making Christmas what it should be -- handmade!
