Positive note of the day: I am in the process of hiding toys (halving the number of dinky cars, dolls, balls, etc. available). I want the kids to appreciate what they have (my brother told me an interesting tidbit that the more toys a child has, the less they value each one) and not dump out every single thing they own (it regularly looks like a Toys 'r Us has exploded all over our basement). It is a positive move for me...we'll see what they think!

Allison, this is a beautiful Christmas card girl!!!!! I hear you on the toys. I felt the same way about my stamps. Now, I have no stamps and I miss them booooooohooooooo
Love your card! You did a great job.
I'm laughing at your Toys R Us description. I have a family room just like that. No matter how many times I bag stuff up and send it outta here? It always seems to make it's way back!!
Gorgeous card! I have a 12 year old son who could literally open his own LEGO Store. Our basement floor is covered with 'em! There is nothing worse than getting a LEGO stuck to the bottom of your foot!
Love this card Allison so vintage looking with that gorgeous image beautifully done and what a cool idea with the toys makes sense.
Love this Allison! Very vintage and very chic! Love all of the details, trims, buttons, snowflakes.
This is so lovely!
Be sure to let us know what it will give toys' wise... I have to agree that my girls treat their toys like they value nothing... and we know it's not true!! Have a great day Allison
Love the card. On a regular basis I rotate toys out and I hide the ones that I am rotating out in the storage area of our basement. The toys that have been rotated in seem like completely new toys to the kids and they play with them more. When they stop playing with them, then I know its time to switch them out again.
Allison this is absolutely GORGEOUS!
Great card Allison! Hhhmmm good idea about the toy thing, our playroom is outta control right now.
Lovely card it fit the positive note perfectly LOL! I told my kids the same thing today they really need to pick what they want because mommy is destashing the toy box.Plus Christmas is around the corner it's OK to make room for new ones right!
I love this card. Definitely vintage looking. Is that dp or did you stamp that gorgeousness? I'll be curious to see how the toy experiment goes. ~chris
Love it, Allison! I know what you mean...I think it is time to do some purging in our household too!!! And try and convince the family not to buy more toys of Christmas!! :0)
Fabulous card for the challenge, Allison!! Your card is beautiful!!
What a great card Allison! Love the colors, the image, the buttons... great tip with the toys! TFS!
Absolutely beautiful card. Love the idea on the toys...I think it's a fabulous move.
What a stunning card. Love it.
this is lovely. I am not too good at vintage, but it one of my favorite looks. You pulled this one off wonderfully, even if it did strain your brain LOL!
