A Snowy Secret Garden

During the Holidays a lovely lady named Dorit told me that she had ordered one of my large decals from my Spoonflower shop called Winter Wonderland Gazebo.  She framed it in a large chunky white frame and created a vignette in the surrounding area to create a winter wonderland in her Florida home.

I love snow and here is a song SNOW that will bring you back in time.

When Spoonflower first began offering decals, I couldn't wait to use my photography and put some in my shop along with my other decal designs.

The decals are printed on lovely paper and print beautifully.  Here is some Gazebo notepaper that you can download for your personal use.

This morning Dorit sent me some new photos of her home.  She said that although her Christmas decorations are all put away, she has kept her winter wonderland scene.

Her cat seems to add just the right bit of coziness to the scene.

I see some of my French Script fabric on her pillow too.  I love it when a customer shares her inspiration and let's me know that she appreciates my designs.

Beautiful Dorit certainly has a gorgeous home and has inspired me to do more photography as decals.

Thank you Dorit.

SNOW…It seems to be snowing everywhere lately.  I was missing snow and the view outside my windows back home in Massachusetts.  My gazebo covered in snow…I have a framed photo in my new home, but I miss snow so much.  Guess what?

Advent Calendar Gift Day 7

Welcome to the gift of an Advent Calendar.  I have always loved Advent calendars.  When I was little, I just couldn't wait to open each little door and find the surprise waiting there.

This Christmas I am turning my blog into an Advent calendar, so I can give you a Christmas surprise every day until Christmas.  Every day I will post downloadable artwork for you to use as my gift.

Today's gift is a bit of photography.  I love photographing our Gazebo, and some of my favorites are the ones I have taken when it has snowed.  

I have used this photo in greeting cards. So, I created two versions for you to download.  One 8 x 8" print or you can crop it to 8 x 10" on an 8.5 x 11" sheet.  The file is called, Advent Day 7, Snowy Gazebo,   Which can be downloaded here.

The other is an 8.5" x 11" sheet holding a greeting card measuring  5 x 7".  You can download this file here.  The name of the file is called Advent Day 7, Greeting Card.  The file will look like this:

Once it's printed on card stock and trimmed, it will look like this. Just fold in half and enjoy your card.

I hope that you enjoy your Gazebo in snow photos.  I have others that I'll be sharing over the next few weeks.

During the Christmas season, I will be creating more gift tags, Christmas stationery, and all kinds of art for you to use.  You can give the art as gifts, decorate your home or use on your Christmas crafts and cards.  If you miss a day, just click on this page, and you can see all the posts and artwork at a glance.

You can also find all of the artwork on my Pinterest Board called An Advent Calendar of Downloadable Artwork.  If you click the artwork that you like, it will lead you back here with the link to the download.
