It must be Sunday

  I can't believe it's the start of a new week. This year is flying by so fast. Too many things still not crossed off my "to do" list ... oh, why fret about it?  I think I'll just pour myself another coffee and make one more card. Note: Cardmaking to me is like chocolate to others.

   Today, Sunday, also begins my new role as a member of the Christmas Card Challenges Design Team.  The challenge this week is to create a Christmas Card based on an inspirational photo. When I saw the photo (below), the card idea just popped into my head.

 

   The photo reminded me of going to my parents house for the holidays. My parents have a small white fence in their front yard and they hang an evergreen swag on it at Christmas. Since we haven't been able to make the trip north for Christmas the past several years, I got a bit homesick and nostalgic...so I had to create the following card:

 

   Making the fence and the swag took longer than I anticipated. I might have to purchase die-cuts if I plan to make anymore like this.

 

 

   What does the Inspirational Photo say to you?

Looking forward to your creations.
