Heart2Heart Challenge & Inspired By

I've combined two challenges for today's card... both Heart2Heart and Inspired By have holiday inspiration photos in classic holiday colours, so I dug into my Believe papers and this is what I came up with:

Here was my inspiration:

The wreath is for Heart2Heart and the cake is for Inspired By

Products: Patterned papers are Believe; Cardstock is Topiary & White Daisy; Stamp set is Holiday Magic; Inks are Holiday Red, Pear, Topiary & Black - all CTMH; Baker's Twine is from The Twinery; Martha Stewart border punch.

A couple more things to share... I was named one of the monthly Top Ten for November on the Heart2Heart Challenge blog for this card!

And I thought I would share a little bit about my day job :o)  I work part-time for my girlfriend Teresa who owns a home staging/interior decorating business.  I'm generally involved in the staging side of things, not so much in the decorating end, but I am the company photographer, so when a design job is complete I get to go in and take photos of the finished project.  Here is what we worked on today, a fabulous condo in downtown Toronto.  I'm really proud of my photography, I still make plenty of mistakes, but am getting better all the time and hope to do a bit more of this in the Real Estate business.  The company is called Design To Go - check out her website!

Have a wonderful weekend :o)
