Welcome to Day 12 of the 12 Days of Holiday Inspiration Blog Event brought to you by "The Inspiration Crew". What a ride it's been! I hope you've enjoyed seeing all these Christmas projects!
Every year, I make 80 photo cards for a friend. This is the design we settled on for this year. It's a hybrid card - "From the Taylors 2014" is printed using "Just Realize" font, which we love because it looks handwritten and contrasts with the block font of the Merry Christmas from Gina K, stamped in Smoky Slate. The white panel is embossed above the sentiment using a Papertrey Impression Plate. I think it worked really well because the edge gave a nice strong border. The sparkly snowflake is from Clearly Besotted.
Here's your last chance to visit all the participants of 12 Days for lots of holiday inspiration!
Such a beautiful design to showcase a beautiful photo, Ardy! Add this to the 312 other cards I know you've made in the last three months,just confirms that you are a card-making machine!! Do you EVER sleep??? Actually, I know you go to bed early. Hmmm. Ah ha, you must be a sleep-walking card-making machine!! Hugs, Darnell

ReplyDeleteAwesome photo of the kids - great choice of color for the inner circle frame - works so well with the rusty dark background of the photo. AND, thanks for the info on the font! You would have had an e-mail from me seconds after I spied it, wanting all the deets! It looks like it might be 'thick" enough to cut on the Silhouette.
