My first post Christmas blog post and I'm feeling much more relaxed as I look forward to another week off before heading back to work on January 3rd. My youngest brother's birthday is 12/31 and I needed a quick card to get in the mail today. I decided to use the sketch for the current Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. I used Reverse Confetti stamps and dies for all but the stitched rectangle panel which uses a die by Lil' Inker Designs. I smooshed Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron, and Fossilized Amber distress inks on Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock.
STAMPS: Celebrate Cake, Circle Sentiments, Label Me - all by Reverse Confetti.
Thought I'd share several Christmas day photos. First is a family room tree shot showing the calm before the storm...
Quinn is serenading us on her new piano in this shot...
We had a yummy meal of our traditional menu of fried oysters (fresh from the Chesapeake Bay) and Honeybaked ham. We were happy to have 3 Canadians join us this year (our DIL's sister and parents) from Ontario and also our other DIL's mother from northern VA.
