AUG08VSNB Little House

Photo Details

Poster: rhondag

My card was inspired by my favorite childhood books, the Little House on the Prairie Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Specifically, I remember that Laura always had to get a red dress due to brown eyes and hair and Mary had blue because her eyes were blue....so, though my card might have looked better in Night of Navy, it is Ridinghood Red. I always felt sad for Laura. :)

Also, a favorite story from the series was.....Mr. Edwards brought their Christmas candies and small gifts from Santa Claus because Santa couldn't get through the blizzard for the girls' presents. :)

There are a few issues on my card that would have been easy to fix with just a bit more time, but alas...only 1 minute left when I shook the glitter off :)

This is absolutely gorgeous! I can totally see Laura Ingalls sitting inside that warm little cabin, coveting her sister's blue dress! LOL Love this!

What a beautiful scene you've created here and is that one of the new nesties? I'm jealous. Those books were favorites of mine too.
