Treasury Time: Sugar Plum, Plus a New Christmas Card

Ballerinas and nutcrackers and sugar plum dreams!  My newest Christmas card design features a frosted confection topped with holly, berries and stars.  I also put together this holiday treasury in lavender, an unexpected but beautiful color for the season.  Enjoy!

Featured!: SouthBound Bride

Pantone's Color of the Year for 2014 is "Radiant Orchid", a color that's a little in between fuchsia, purple, and pink.  I was excited for this because it has actually been one of my favorite colors to work with and has already featured in quite a few of my items.  I absolutely love the beautiful images that Gaby from SouthBound Bride has put together here, to showcase the versatility of this gorgeous shade.  The photos below show how well it goes with blue, and she's also paired it with soft greens, champagne, and black with gold (see her post for more).  Thank you so much Gaby for including my bunting!
