We Create Christmas Blog Hop

Welcome! Can you believe it's already December?! This year has really gone by fast. I think it is because I'm older and busier. Yeah, that's it.  I'm feeling a bit festive this year so the decorations are out and 1/2 way up. I will most likely be finishing that up quick as it has just started to snow.

My card came together quick! There are a few things going on here that I really like. First, I wanted the softly falling background but it was just too simple with the dear right on it. Still a nice card but not what I was after. Then the deer on the Crumb Cake by itself was too plain so I added the DSP... and then the twine and ... perfection!  You also might see that I used the DSP on the envelope flap. Something I think I will start doing.

I tried the floral line above and below the phrase but that was too much. The deer you see is on the outside front lower left of the envelope.
