holiday intentions...

Over the weekend, we accomplished lots of holiday-related items.  Shopping, baking, list-making - lots and lots of it - and I made a nice list of things I was going to get done today while the kids were home from school (first day of Christmas Vacation!!)...

Well, Mother Nature had different plans for me.  We've received over a foot of snow (so far...it's still snowing), and I haven't left the comfort of my warm and cozy home...not even to take the kiddos to their check-up at the dentist (yes, they were terribly sad about that...).

One of the items on my list of holiday intentions for today was to mail out our Christmas cards.  I know - I'm already running behind...and now they're going to REALLY be late, and even that knowledge wasn't enough to get me to brave the snow and yucky roads.  They'll have to be mailed tomorrow.  So I thought I'd go ahead and share our little card here - a sneak-peek of what may be coming to your mailbox (late), and happy holiday wishes to everyone who sees it!

I do have some more holiday related things to share here on my blog, but they'll likely be late as well...

 

ETA: I've had a few questions about my card...and I apologize for not adding this information when I shared the card...but here it is now...

I am not very handy with all things digital, but I created my card in PhotoShop using some fabulous freebies I've been collecting:

The digital patterned papers are from Brittney who designs at ScrapMatters.com.

and the sweet tree template is from DigiChick (I think I found it last year, but I'm not sure).

I found the BEST blog for sharing freebie digital kits and elements...if you're interested, please check out the Ikea Goddess blog where she lists great digi freebies almost daily!

I probably can't help with any technical questions, as I just "wing it" when I'm working in PhotoShop...but those are the products I used. :o)
