In case we forget in the midst of the season's rush, let's take a moment to recall that the greatest 'Christmas' gift ever was the birth of the Christ Child. I used this image from Delicious Doodles, which was actually an image designed for Mother's Day, because I thought it could be used for a perfect depiction of Mother and Child at Christmas.
The only coloring I did was on the faces and I used my chalks to do those. The image and mat are cut with one of my newer Stitched Scalloped Circles dies from Memory Box. The background is embossed with a folder from Cuttlebug.
The star is also an image from Delicious Doodles and, though it's hard to see in the photo, I added a touch of glitter to it for some silver sparkle. The 'banner' at the top is made from scrap which I was about to throw away. :-D

I used the sketch at Outlawz Sketch Challenge, reversed.

What a pretty Christmas card, love the embossed camel. Thanks for playing along with us at Scrapy Land Challenge #31!
Absolutely beautiful - and what Christmas should be about. We tend to forget that sometime.
Love the way you used this image and the embossing just adds that extra oomph. So pretty.

Great design, Connie, and the image is breathtaking. You were wise to let it stand mostly on its own.

Such a wonderful lay-out. Thanks a lot for joining last week's Challenge and would love to see you again this week at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving you with an encouragement found in Psalm 125:2 which tells us, "As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore." Have a great day!
Hugs always,
