This year seemed to just fly by so fast didn't it? I think more people than not wanted it to for various reasons, economy for one. For me I guess I wanted it to last just a little bit longer so that I would have more time to prepare. For the holiday's I mean.
I had these great intentions of starting about 3 months ago to get my christmas cards designed, printed, and ready to be sealed. Of course that didn't happen. My procrastination seemed to get the better of me, as it does any other time. And with our impending vacation coming upon me, there was no time to wait. I had spent the better part of the day coming up with the design on the computer, and although it has been one that has been floating in my head for a while, it didn't turn out anything like i was imagining. I think the only things that stayed the same were the pictures and the colors. But I have to say that I am pretty pleased. Actually very pleased. I am thrilled to be able to open the box, delivered by the man in brown, to see how they printed out. It's kind of like christmas when santa has come and you get to open all the presents.
Have to give credit to Jessica Sprague for the patterned paper in the background. It was part of her free download a while back, from the kit Echoes of Asia. She always seems to amaze me with her style and the things she can do. If you get a chance, check out her blog http://spraguelab.squarespace.com/ and her scrapbooking website http://www.jessicasprague.com to see the many things she does.
