happy holidays

Life has been busy but wonderful since we had our little addition, kammie. She is loved and adored by friends and family, so I incorporated her into my 2009 xmas card. What could be a better way to incorporate her than put her chubby face in an ornament?



I made some paper ornaments and turned them into photo frames. They were fun xmas pattern paper layered with heavy cardstock, then punched out the center for pictures to peep through.



I even had different pictures of Kammie in each ornament.






A silver cap and a shiny hanging thread completed the ornament. Only the body of the ornament was glued to the card, the silver cap and the hanging thread were left hanging. I love how it casts shadow fromt the light.



You can clearly see the thickness of the ornament, it helps the ornament pop from the white backdrop.




To celebrate the holidays, even my sheepie dressed for the occasion :)
