I have almost completely driven myself batty! I have spent the greater part of my Saturday in front of this blasted machine and I’m just about to give up and hate myself forever…
I am making a Christmas card for our family.
Initially I thought, “Gee, this will be simple. I’ll just use my Christmas Trees card template that I made and that will be that.” But no… it can never be that simple for me. I figit and fuss and nudge my layouts until my back aches, my eyes are stinging and my wrists are twitching.
So… I’m putting my card up for a vote. I know that I’m exposing myself and showing you how sycotic I can be when it comes to my layouts but I also have this strange need for approval. So go ahead and laugh your head off at my ridiculousness.
Pick your favorite, pretty please. All credits go to Dani Mogstad. I used 2 kits of hers- Holiday Spirit and Sleigh Bells Ring.
#1 My first attempt is pretty true to my template. I think I went a bit overboard with the ribbons on the little tree.

#2 The little tree is all gone. Bye bye little tree. But then I added some strange tag under an ornament to show the date. I couldn’t seem to figure out where that little tag should go.

#3 Then I began to wonder if the color scheme was bothering me so I used a different kit with more traditional colors. Still couldn’t figure out where to put the date.

#4 At this point I was started to get irritated with myself so I thought I’d try someone else’s design. But that didn’t seem quite right either. “Love Gift Peace” What??

#5 May be I needed to get vertical but then I wasn’t happy with the papers so I changed them out a hundred times and found nothing that I loved. I started screaming and moaning at this point. Ahhhhhh!

#6 At this point Leah woke up and I knew I had completely wasted nap time. We had a little lunch break and then I finished off with this one. Still not sure. Did I go overboard on the stars and sequins?

Okay, that’s it for now. See how silly and obsessed I am.
Cast your vote via a comment and I will now go white wash myself in the snow. Thanks.
