Ahhh...I think I see routine FINALLY settling into my days. I always thought I was a fly by the seat of my pants type of person, that I liked to be spontaneous.
Not so much.
Maybe spontaneous on a day when we don't have anything planned.
And fly by the seat of my pants - that just as well fly itself out the window! (and I'll keep my pants - on!)
I'm finding that I crave a routine to my day. After a summer of run here, run there, this Momma is GLAD school is back in session! I'm tired of my head spinning circles like I'm the main character in The Exorcist!
So now that the kiddos are back in school, I can find some normalcy to my day. At least somewhat.
And I hope that I can be here to inspire you more. After all.....I'm not afraid to admit that I've been a blog slacker. Cuz I have been. Heck, my poor craft room looks like a tornado went thru.
But - that being said.....I have been creating Christmas Cards. A lot of them too!
Let me tell you about today's card:
When I looked at the Nordic Noel paper in the Holiday Catalog it didn't jump out at me at first. A lot of bold, vibrant papers and colors. I'm kind of a subdued DSP kinda gal - especially for Christmas Cards. But I ordered the paper, knowing I'd like the striped pattern at least! Turns out, I'm pretty sure the paper I used on this card is my fave! I didn't even notice it in the catalog.
It's very Nordic to me. Like making a visit to St. Olaf with Betty White or something. It stood out to me, and I knew that it needed to be highlighted. You can't really cut it apart much and get a feel for the pattern - at least in my mind.
So I kept my sentiment simple - this one from Bright & Beautiful. I added a little ornament from Cheerful Christmas that I embossed with White Em. Powder on Real Red Cardstock.
In the end it's clean and simple and yet full of fun!
Thanks for popping in today....let's hope my life remains normal, and I'll be back tomorrow!
