Happy Friday! Today's post is one of my projects from this month's Creative Crew challenges on splitcoast. This challenge was to make anything that included a photo and was something you could give away. Some examples were a photo Christmas card, a framed scrapbook page, or framed art, etc. I decided to go with the photo Christmas card. I was going to use a wedding photo of us but then I got to thinking that if I were to actually send this card out, I wouldn't be sending out cards with a wedding photo of us getting married last year. And I figured if I'm taking the time to make this card, I need to at least be able to send it. So then I remembered I had this super cute photo of our cats. Yes, they look like they are posed very nicely but that is only because I was eating cereal near them and they were hoping to get some of the milk in my cereal. :) Crazy cats! I printed out this picture in black and white and got to work on my card. It's actually a pretty easy card that you could replicate for your holiday cards this year. I layered the picture on vanilla cardstock to give it a border. Then I used a piece of the Holly Berry Bouquet DSP that I punched with the scallop border punch. Then I embossed the saying from Christmas Lodge on some Cherry Cobbler cardstock, added 2 pearls next to the sentiment and that's it. You could skip the embossing part to make the card even quicker. I'm not sure if you can see it in the picture by the Cherry Cobbler piece is adhered with dimensionals so it gives it a little dimension. Have a nice weekend!
