Needing a Little Christmas

I had a rough week.  Nothing of a grave nature, thank God, but definitely unnerving.  My antidote - prayer for the spirit and a little Christmas for the mind.  (Yes, I should exercise for the body, but I haven't gotten there yet.  LOL!)  Inspired by Kristina Werner's "Holiday Card Series 2011," I came up with some Christmas designs of my own.


The first set I made was inspired by Kristina's Day 10 design, in which she pieced a patterned block.  I used the same technique to create a flower and enhanced it with a button.  For my designs, I decided to use a tag format for the focal point.


The second set I made was inspired by her Day 6 design.  She made a pattern for punching and embroidering a tree shape on card stock.  I liked it so much, that I incorporated it into my own designs.


Finally, I made as set inspired by her Day 25 snowmen design.  However, I used a Martha Stewart Snowman punch instead of a stamp.  It was fun dressing up the snowmen and playing with different layouts for the cards.

Anyway, I feel much better.  Thank you, God, and may next week be better...  How was your week?.
