Christmas 2009...My First Self-designed Card!

Here is...my very first self-designed card for my son, David, for Christmas!  My sister had this beautiful paperline in her scrapbook store, and I fell in love.  One of the sheets was composed of rectangular cutouts that could be used in various ways, such as I used on my card below is the focal point and sentiment.  I made 5 other cards, but lifted ideas or parts from others that I saw in magazine, etc.  Little did I know I was on the slippery slope of becoming an addicted cardmaker!
