My brother would probably not admit it willingly, but I really do rock. I spent a large portion of my weekend working on a holiday card for him and my sister-in-law (third year in a row). This is no simple only-the-front-is-decorated card. No, no, no... it's the front, it's the back, and it's the entire inside. A double-sided masterpiece. I finished and got final approval (after three drafts) last night.

And then because I'm even cooler, better, and more awesome still, I found a site that would print them and uploaded the order for my brother (because the site I'd originally sent him to to print it wouldn't do full front/back and full inside printing that he needed). I did all of this before I even THOUGHT about my own holiday card/letter.

I am an awesome sister. I say this here because I fully intend to send a link to this blog post to my brother and he really SHOULD leave me a comment telling me, in a public forum, how awesome I really am. I deserve it.

I won't share the results of my hard work here, though, because it's his to send out. But it turned out really sweet. The inside looks like a gallery with all of the photos in frames.

So, I still have to do my own card. And then, maybe, just maybe, I'll get back to the kit I started designing last month and deserted due to holiday insanity and busy-ness.

In the interest of sharing some eye candy today, though, how about some goodies from my Creative Team chickadees?!?!?
