Well, this is MOST CERTAINLY outside my box! When I saw this week's bloggers challenge, I felt very challenged. :) So, I put it off until this morning. I saw the sqauares on the bed spread and thought it was time to mount my calendar background. I had been playing with the new tree set from the mini. I have to be honest, when i got it, I didn't like it. I thought the tree looked like a big toothpick! :) However, once I saw all the possiblities, and saw it with the two step leaves and snowflakes, I changed my mind. After all, that's a woman's perogative right?
I should have probably used a stampamajig to get the images perfectly centered, but I only had a half hour to work with. I had to go get my daughter at preschool. 
All of the images were white embossed on colored cardstock. I made the border between the red base and the white second layer 1/16th of an inch to replicate the white pillows on the bed.

This is a little bit bright for my style, but it's awesome for me to think outside my box, or in this case, inside the little boxes.
