Tradition and nostalgia

I suspect it is because of my extensive quilting background that I love color, pattern and design. Fabric is eye candy, lovely to behold and even better to touch. I have discovered that paper is the same way!  An even more pleasant surprise is when it evokes strong memories that bring warm fuzzies to my heart.  One of Stampin'Up!'s Christmas paper packs does just that. I do remember the 60's and 70's and was fortunate to be young enough to be fairly untouched by the chaos in our country at that time. All I remember is very traditional childhood, which I am grateful for.

I couldn't wait to dive into this paper and start creating!  I'm having a card class this week featuring 5 cards made from this paper, "Home for Christmas".  I'll be featuring the cards the rest of the week on my blog. There are still openings in the classes if you are interested, Thursday evening and Friday morning. Just give me a holler!

I did have to use scissors to cut out Rudolph, but other than that, this card was easy peasey!  If you look really closely, you will see a dot of red glitter glue on his nose. It's important to be accurate, don't you think?  Here's a quick look at this fabulous paper that is providing my inspiration:

We just got our first snowfall last night so winter is very close!
Happy Stampin'!
