Hello Friends, today at Peace On Earth we have a pretty
inspiration board that has a somewhat vintage look.
But, you can create anything as long as it's Christmas themed!
I always try to go with our mood boards as close as I can
so on this one I let the upper left big Santa face inspire me along with the colors.
Years ago I purchased these BIG stickers (1986), yes I've had them that long,
from a local Apple House that my sister, my mom and I myself used to go to for
lunch, they had the best grilled green olive/cream cheese sandwiches, plus a cute gift shop
which is where these stickers came from. These were so large that I had to make A6 cards
not my usual A2. I decided to make three using all three stickers instead of putting them away for another 20 years. I had some pretty vintage color papers from P13 Cozy Winter that
looked good with the kraft card bases, so all in all these are pretty simple cards
using just the papers and big stickers!

Those big stickers look fantastic and I love the story that goes with them. Sweet memories. Good for you not putting them away for another 20 years. Now you have three wonderful Christmas cards! BTW, I would love that sandwich. Merry Christmas!
