Today I am sharing this soft and subtle Christmas card featuring Pion Design collections "Long Ago in Bethlehem" and "Legends of the Sea". I love combining Pion collections together, they always fit so perfectly, and these work wonderfully for a shabby holiday card!
My card was inspired by my amazingly talented friend Sara Emily of sarascloset. I would never have thought to use these colours together, but the minute I saw her beautiful card, I just knew I had to try! Thanks for the inspiration my sweet friend!

Is that a handmade flower you ask, why yes it is!! lol The flower petals are blooms from Wild Orchid Crafts and I coloured them with distress ink Weathered Wood. The wood flourishes are from Scrapiniec, the other flowers are also from Wild Orchid Crafts and everything else is from my stash.
The ribbon is a hand woven silk Sari ribbon, it's so delicate and soft! Thank you to Alison of Words and Pictures for turning me on to this gorgeous product which I purchased on Etsy.

Guess what I woke up to yesterday morning... a white winter coating of snow!! I spent several hours outside and took a ton of photos! I'm excited to go through them all and share some with you, but for today I will share some shots from last week. Lots of mist and chubby animals. lol
For my birds today, this beautiful male Sparrow...
and a gorgeous Bluejay...

Everyone say hello to Baby Zippy. This is the other baby squirrel who is living on my patio. He's so brave and he's wicked smart too! He's learned that if he comes to the door and scratches on the glass, that I'll bring out fresh food! How precious is that! He's a bit bigger than Dolly P, but he's still super small! When he looks directly at me, I actually melt! Just look at all the cuteness!
That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.
