Apple Cider Christmas

When I saw this week's Unscripted Sketch, I knew one of the gorgeous Penny Black Christmas at Dusk stickers I picked-up on my latest travels would be the perfect focal element … I just had to rotate the sketch to work with the direction of the gorgeous ornaments.

I went looking in my Christmas paper to coordinate with the stickers, but ended-up using Bo Bunny's Apple Cider Paper, an autumn collection.   I loved how it pulled out the deep dusky oranges from the sticker design.  I added a tiny ivory frame around the sticker for a bit of contrast, and this card came together in a snap.

Speaking of gorgeous ornaments … my Dad came to visit for Thanksgiving and we really enjoyed the beautiful holiday decorations at the National Czech & Slovak Museum.

We also had fun learning about the many stories of St. Nicholas … including doing an etching & learning how to fold a Miter (hat).
