Merry Christmas!!

2009 Aldrich Christmas Card

Is complete :) I simply LOVE how it turned out. All day yesterday it was truly a work in progress. When I arrived at the crop I had a few small ideas floating around in my head. I had a stack of CTMH cardstock and a stack of pictures in front of me and a designed card from the night before that I wasn’t really digging. So….I started looking at Cricut cartridges to get my creative juices flowing….Fell in love with a slender xmas tree from the Christmas Cheer cartridge and that is what helped me with the layout of the card…..

The spot where the present sits took me awhile to get to though. Before I got to that I cut out all my trees and punched out the pictures and started putting the trees together and cutting the 41/2 x 4/12 red squares and adding the 2x2 punched out pics to it. The time came where I needed to fill my lonely and empty red spot :) At first I was going to use the Cricut and cut a present or maybe a xmas saying. But I wasn’t feeling anything I cut.So then I was going to cut out tags and apply a stamped image to the tag so I started browing through my xmas stamps….no not quite or no not the right size. So then I started browsing through Lauras’s xmas stamps and came across that present…ooooo…..I really like that.  Immediately, I knew what I wanted to do! I wanted to stamp that pretty little present right on the empty square using CTMH white daisy ink. I just love the end result. I do have one remaining item…I’m not sure I like the sparkle for the xmas star so today I am going to Michaels to see what other ideas I can come up with for that. Then its sign and seal ;)

I’m starting to feel the holiday spirit!!! Today I want to make gift tags!
