Happy Cullen Christmas (and some Awards)

Hi! Have you ever been really excited about a card you wanted to make, and everything went the way you wanted, and yet you still didn't end up with the result you wanted? That's kind of how I feel about this card (I am NOT whining, really!) I LOVE the digi's, I was So pleased with how the coloring turned out, and then somehow.....I don't know, I think maybe it's because I tried to fit so many of them on one card that it left very little room to get across my Christmas card theme. My DH didn't think it looked like a Christmas card at all when I first finished so I added the ribbon/bow and holly to the center....I am not happy with the ribbon, but as everything was attached with a glue dot, it started ripping the paper when I tried to take it off, so it is staying!! Anyway, I do love how the "Cullens" look! (And they have a lovely subtle sparkle in real life, thanks to a clear Spica pen! I wish it was easier to get that to photograph!)

I know a LOT of you have received these lately but since it is so hard for me to decide because I love the inspiration I get from all of the blogs I visit I would like to offer this up to anyone who doesn't have it yet, that I follow. I love seeing what everyone has created and I usually try to leave comments, but for whatever reason when I sometimes don't, I appreciate you all so much!


This last one came to me from Jodi (Stamping a Latte) and you could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw that! I have been checking out Jodi's creations since before I knew how to "follow" someone's blog! She is amazing!! Here is the explanation that came with it:

This award is bestowed onto blogs that are exceedingly charming. These bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes cut, even more friendships are propagated. When you receive this award, you have to pass it on to six bloggers, so here goes! I chose these ladies as I am uber inspired by them and am glad to have become friends with them through blogging!

So I would like to pass this one on to:

1-Amy
2-Gabby
3-Kelly
4-Mary
5-Randi
6-Donna

Thank you all for the wonderful inspiration!!
