I saw the card design in an Australian Papercraft Essentials magazine and liked the idea. Sort of an easel card... I started with an image from The Graphics Fairy ~ of a Victorian Santa. I printed it and cut with a Spellbinders die and inked the edges with Tea Dye distress ink. The rest of the card was made with patterned papers from My Minds Eye "Lost and Found Christmas", DCWV " The Christmas Combo" and Hot off the Press " Forever Christmas Cards" ~a freebie with a magazine. Some gems to finish and as the stopper. I decided to use the Happy Holidays part of the PP along the base instead of adding some stamping.... Hubby commented on this one as being a favourite... normally don't get much in the way of comments from him :( ~ maybe this will be for him this Christmas!
Had a nice lunch today.... my neighbour turned 60 this week and invited me to join her and some of her friends for a Girls Luncheon. When I asked her there was anything I could bring she said..." well as a matter of fact, those little Pecan Pies you make would be nice" ~ so made some yesterday afternoon.... For anyone who loves mini pies ~ this is the best and easiest recipe ever...
Cheers
Dawn

Wow, do I love the shape of this card and the fact that it's an 'easel'. So clever! Love that you didn't do any stamping also! sometimes paper is just too perfect the way it is!
The pecan pies look wonderful- I'll have to give the recipe a try sometime :)
Hi Dawn, Sorry I haven't commented for a while. I have had two sick kids who were off school for most of last week. Now I am not so well - sore throat and not much of a voice.
