Some people like to go all out for Christmas, and I admire them. Me, well, I tend to stick to the bare minimum right now-probably due to the two rough and tumble boys that like to hang out at my place! A tree, my nativity and a few ceramic plates is about all I do. I guess you could call my decorating clean and simple too!
The overall design for this card came from the sketch by Amy Heller and the holly inspiration came from the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge. Super easy to create the woodgrain look to the chair from Schlosser Designs Furnishing Fun stamp set by using distress ink!

ReplyDeletewhat a lovely card, nothing wrong with clean and simple decorations... speaking from the girl who's done nothing!
ReplyDeletelovely cards. Last year was the first year we had ornaments on our tree due to 2 rough and tumble boys of our own. I think we lost about 5 last year. Only one so far this year... Boys are 3 & 5.
ReplyDeletegreat design, clean and festive!
ReplyDeleteI love this one, Karen...such a great use of a non-holiday image!
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with the chair!!
ReplyDeleteThe holly looks so sweet on the chair! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! Ya know I can totally relate. I LOVE Christmas and would LOVE to decorate my house like crazy but my 3 lil ones would just destroy it all. We have a tiny (6 ft tall and slender) tree with just likes and garland. Didn't even put ornaments on it. Maybe in a couple years I will be able to decorate just how I want. :-)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the CAS feel, the chair is perfection! Thanks for playing along at Cupcake Inspirations this week!!
