WELCOME
Welcome to my Christmas blog. If you arrived here from my other blog, Gracenotes For Today then you already know all about my love for cardmaking, home dec items, sewing projects and graphic design.
This site will host anything with a Christmas theme, either NEW or that was previously on the Gracenotes For Today site. Also, to the above list, I will include some of my poems that are perfect for use with cardmaking.
I'm so happy you decided to drop by. Please feel free to comment on anything you see here that inspires you.

Silent Night Gift Tag - Version 2
Hand Painted Deer
At first glance you might think this tag is exactly like the first one. Here's a link to that posting, in case you missed it. Silent Night Gift Tag #4
The overall design is similar but the ribbon, star and deer are different. To me, this little guy looks like a young buck because of the size of his antlers.

Deer
Sometimes cardstock does not always do well when cutting fine details with the Cricut.
For this tag, the deer and trees were made this way. I am not exactly an artist so I have to rely on my imagination in deciding on the most realistic colours to paint them. As always, I use my ProMarkers for this job.
The deer is from Winter Wonderland cartridge.
Layers
Lots of layers do the trick in giving these tags dimension and life. From front to back there are 7 layers. I wish the camera would capture the sparkle of the snow better. The following pic illustrates the layers.
Cartridges Used
Library Fonts - 'Silent Night' phraseWinter Frolic - tag shape
Winter Woodland - trees
Winter Wonderland - deer
Okay, that's it for the Silent Night tags. I'd better get busy making the next ones I have in mind. SO many choices... so little time!
