Happy 2013! I have been enjoying the holiday season with some of the friends and family I love most. I hope you were able to do the same. I chose to enjoy each day rather than stress over the holiday bustle. I have a few gifts that are still not wrapped and shipped, but it will get done. Until last night, I even took a vacation from crafting and social media. We had a nice unexpected surprise...a white Christmas! And Santa even brought a sled; perfect. We have had lots of fun doing puzzles, playing games, and sledding in the snow.
Yesterday the postman brought me a package of goodies from Pumpkin Spice, so my daughters and I headed to my craft room. My girls created sticker mosaics that Santa brought while I played with my new papers and stamps. The trees and the sentiment are Paper Smooches stamps and the papers are Carta Bella "Traditions". I love the weight and feel of the Carta Bella papers. They seem higher quality to me than some of my other 6x6 pads by various manufacturers...just my opinion!
The brown card stock is from my December Pumpkin Spice kit, "Winterland Fun." The red dotted card stock, dark brown ink, and my acrylic stamping block all came from the Pumpkin Spice kit, "Mooey Doodles." The gems and crinkle ribbon were also purchased from Pumpkin Spice...I love that store! Great prices and reasonable shipping.
I wish you all a healthy and happy 2013!

Happy New Year, and congratulations on another fabulous card production.
The interesting shapes of the trees sets the card off, and I love the long trunks.
This card is so sweet! I love the warm country feel.
I also love how you enjoyed each day-I tried really hard to not get caught up in the marketing this year. I wanted to enjoy it, not be totally stressed!
I also love (I guess I'm just loving this post!) how you create with your girls. I try to do that with my niece-she loves stamping with my Distress Inks! She's 4 1/2 so I'm still nervous about the mess but I have a TON of supplies just for her!
Well, that was a chatty comment, LOL! Happy New Year!!
Well that sounds like the perfect way to enjoy the holidays. One day at a time. I like that! Your card is just so sweet. Wishing you and your family a Happy 2013!
Hugs~
