COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS: Christmas Cookie Exchange Invitations

I have been wanting to hostess a small scale cookie exchange at my house for a few years, but this year I started planning it in advance so I could make it happen. Flash forward, I got kinda busy, and with only a little over a week left till Christmas, I don't think it will happen this year . . . but I figure I can use the invites as a jump start for next year *giggles*

Sometimes I hate how disorganized I am . . . maybe that will have to be one of my resolutions . . .

Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...
