As my Christmas card has already been posted, I think that Christmas Day is a great one to post a card for my friend who has the perfect holiday name of ‘Noela’. She was indeed a holiday-born baby so a posting in this month is certainly the right place for her. She has newly moved to Beacon, NY and by all accounts, it’s very much like the card front’s design . . .
The entire card front is one die which is such a charmer, I had to get it the minute I saw it. Equally charming was the fact that it was on sale at half price! There’s enough action going on that a simple text strip was all I wanted to add to it. I confess to copying the color scheme shown on the packaging as I thought it was perfect as is. But next time, I’ll go for something quite different just to put my own spin on it . . .
