This card is a peek into one of my family's Christmas traditions. If you know me at all, it will not surprise you that we are very orderly on Christmas morning. We take turns opening Christmas presents (youngest to oldest) and everything gets written down in the book so that we can write thank you notes. Over the years, we have developed the tradition of having someone play the role of Christmas 'elf' - this person sits by the tree, and hands out the presents in the correct order.
I knew that this new Bookworm Leading Lady from Essentials by Ellen, paired up with some of the presents from the Holiday Shopper lady would work perfectly for a Christmas-morning-at-Ardyth's-house scene!

I coloured the Bookworm Lady with Copics, wearing her a Christmas outfit and put the presents around her.

An awesome tradition Ardyth - I could never get DH to slow down so we could all savour the moment of the gift opening! Love your card, and you have combined the two sets beautifully
