The Most Wonderful Time of The Year

Yes, I definitely have to agree that the holiday season is the best time of the year, although it is a crazy and hectic one as well.

We finally have a Christmas tree and it's lit up and decorated! My little guy is super excited this year about Christmas--it's adorable and exhausting at the same time. The day we decorated the tree he had to be in the middle of everything--waiting with anticipation to see what would be the next treasure pulled out of the over sized rubber-made storage box. Very cute, but did I mention exhausting too...

When it comes to holiday crafting I find that I have been obsessed with winter birds. It all started with cardinals. I just love their majestic red feathers and especially how their vibrant color contrasts against the bare winter landscape. They are one of natures most stunning ornaments.

This fixation with winter birds actually started last year when I created two sets of paper birds to decorate my Christmas tree.

This year I decided to create a whole series of Christmas cards based on my love of these birds and my fascination with the natural and rustic elements of the season. I used a winter birds stamp set from Inkadinkado along with card stock from Paper trey Ink and patterned papers from Basic grey to create these cards.
