All I want for Christmas...

My five year old Carter and I finally got around to writing a letter to Santa Claus.  In the letter, we included his little brother Drake. At the age of 22 months, Drake had no interest in what we were doing.   Playing with a toy truck was much more interesting.  Here is what we created in My Digital Studio.  It was easy and Carter picked the stamp set, paper, colors and helped arrange the letter.  I think he did really well.  I was very impressed with his computer skills.  The computer lab at school is definitely helping :-)!

Give your Christmas card a PUNCH!

  This card was created for a punch challenge.  My upper-line Michele challenged our team to make a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card with punches.  I hit a road block for a while, but the idea came to me slowly.  I’m always about layers and little details.  So, here goes with my creation.  Enjoy!
