Countdown to Christmas- Day Twenty-One! Today's featured past Christmas card is one I did a few years ago for the Studio Commissary. It features Gene ice skating on a 'pond' surrounded by lit up trees. This was a fun scene to create, and when I had just joined the board and was participating in my second year of the Christmas card exchange. The doll I treasure because I won her in one of the Christmas game parties.
I still have this fun Gene doll in my collection. I remember the idea I had for this card and still treasure it today. I thought of using a mirror, but did not have one, so I went down to my local Dollar General, and lo and behold- they had a $5 perfume mirrored stand with feet ! I remember squealing I was so excited it was the right size and price! I also bought that bag of rolled 'snow' blanket and assembled my trees and those plants - and voila! my card was created. Getting Gene to stand was a little harder. This goes to show you don't have to spend a lot to create great dioramas. This little mirror diorama has been used time and time again.
Stay tuned for more Countdown to Christmas!
