Wow, thanks everyone for voting and putting up with my silliness. I was actually a bit surprised by the results. As of right now, #1 and #3 are exactly tied. I had no idea that #1 would be a favorite. I personally had been leaning towards #6. I guess it’s a good lesson to just stick to my original plan and not over think everything.

With the votes tied, it left me to make the final decision between #1 and #3. And it really came down to color schemes and what colors did I like the best? #1 had the soft blue paper that went along with all the blue in the photo but #3 had such lovely traditional colors and well… I’m a bit traditional. So with a little bit more fussing, I ended up with this…

I used the suggestion to add the tag onto the present and I used my burn tool to add a bit more definition to some of the paper edges. I added stitches to the tree as well as a matching stroke around the star and trunk. I think it makes the tree look a little bit better.

I’m happy with it and I’m happy that this task is done. I can move on with my life, thank goodness.

So if I know you personally, you can expect this lovely card in the mail soon and if I don’t know you… then consider this your Merry Christmas from our little family. XOXO
