Christmas, baby.

I'm a Christmas baby, how about you? Having my birthday on December 29th can be a real downer. When I was a kid, everyone was on Christmas break and out of town. Then being sandwiched between Christmas and New Years.... let's just say I have gotten a lot of last minute holiday clearance gifts.

As I've grown... I appreciate the beauty of celebrating my "special" day so near the holidays. Now I am almost always with family, and my husband is not at work, and the kids are out of school. This lends itself to a fantastic celebration. Lucky me!

This card is for the Christmas baby in me. (And for this PaperCrafts challenge!~)

The leaves aren't traditional holly leaves, but they do look like a swag
This is a fantastic image for spotlighting, even in black and white
Lots of detailed "Christmasy" layers - not my typical card!
