Christmas time evokes nostalgia. It is a time when adults go down memory lane to visit their childhood. Melodious, musical tunes like, “I’ll be Home for Christmas,” by Bing Crosby fill the air as family members separated by miles make plans for a trip back home. Traditions become a gathering place that transcend time and space when they can’t make that special trip. Stampin’ Up! has done an incredible job of capturing those nostalgic feelings of Christmas past in the hand-drawn imagery in the Home for Christmas designer series paper. Whether you want to fussy cut adorable images or just have a vintage inspired background, this paper does it all! For the next few days I will be showing you cards created with this beautiful paper!
This card spurs my imagination. In my minds eye I can see the gently falling snow accumulating in the small town back in a time when the community revolved around the church. My eyes smart with tears as I imagine the wanderer coming home and looking on this peaceful scene with loving thoughts as he takes it all in, inscribing it in his heart and mind, before his excitement to be home takes over and propels him through mom and dad’s door. Take some time to enjoy it with me…
Thanks so much for stopping by!
