It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

I know it's still November. I know tomorrow is Thanksgiving. But at my house...


It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!



Therefore I am very excited about the Fresh Brewed Designs Challenge this week!!!


Theme: Winter/Christmas

November 24-30





To me, this theme calls for something warm (like a nice cup of coffee and warm/rich colors). It also reminds me of the real reason for the season - Jesus! Our family has a tradition that began when our children were just toddlers. Every Christmas season, we read the Christmas story from the Bible and remember the babe that was born long, long ago. Therefore, in keeping with our tradition, I used a not-so-Christmas type of image for my card.



Here it is:

The designer paper is a rich Christmas paper with pinecones, berries, and lush red/gold ribbon.

... the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:6b-7)
