There is nothing like looking at my blog posts to make me realize how delinquent I have been in posting here. I was stamping with a group of friends recently, making Christmas cards, and commenting I am just not "in the mood" for Christmas yet. But then I happened upon Matthew 1:21, a page in my coloring journal that I had not completed yet, and was reminded of what a great thing Christmas is and how we should be in the "in the mood" to thank God for this blessing, the birth of our Messiah, all year long.
Here is the page. Besides using colored pencils for the letters, I also used pastels to color on and around the page, stamped the holy family and colored them with pencils, stamped and heat embossed the Magi and a star on vellum and attached it with sparkly tape, and added blue pastel around them and white gel pen stars.
