December 9th 2014

Holy, has Christmas ever sneaked up on me this year. I feel entirely unprepared, and like I'm running around trying to get everything I need and making things just isn't going well. It took me six weeks to finish half a gift... maybe I should spend more time making the other half at one time.

In the meantime, some cards I've made recently:

 Our friendly snowpeople need their liquor too.

 

 And This one I stole off of Pinterest to make for my boyfriend. It includes masking and embossing.

 

This present is for my mom's car-- it's a garbage bag that's kinda cute. I made it.

 These are both shots I took about a month, maybe a month and a half ago when I went on a hike. I would like to point out that I also stole some birchbark off of it. It's a fallen tree so it's not being hurt much, and I wanted to try the birchbark in the summer for a fire.
I think that these guys need to be edited, they were shot without a polarizer filter and you can tell. Usually I don't edit my shots that are supposed to be properly composed, but usually I use the right tools in the first place. I just didn't here.
Well, happy december preparation.
