This card started out with the tree which I decorated last year but then got stuck and put it away. Well, this year I stumbled over the container it was in and pulled it out and looked at it and suddenly knew what to do with it. This is how I "design": I see something in my mind, and then I try to make it come to life. No drawings, no designing on paper, it's all in my head. 
The card simply "happened", piece by piece. All total I made five, each one a little different. Don't ask how long it took to finish this card, I forget. Just making the sill on top of the fireplace wall took a while because it needed to be dimensional. The wreath consists of at least 40 pieces, the little gifts had to be made into boxes first before I could wrap them. Putting the gold string around and tying a tiny bow is not easy to do!It was a lot of fun putting these cards together. If it wasn't I wouldn't do it. I love challenges, I love making pretty things.
Then, of course, I realized that I needed gift boxes for these cards, so I made these simple matching boxes.
Happy crafting, everybody!
