christmas cards from the ericksons...










so every year for like EVER, our family sends a
very unique christmas card out.  it had turned into quite a tradition and come october or november of every year, people begin asking what
we are doing for that year.  the pressure is on.
this year (and i SWEAR i will post it as soon as we take it)
we are going with a JERSEY SHORE christmas.
ha!  my husband is not thrilled, especially after the gun
one we did last year.  too bad, so sad.
my all time favorite has been "dreaming of a white trash christmas".

and let me just say what you are bound to be thinking:
"my, how her scrap style has changed and GROWN
over the years....."
i know.

what is your favorite theme we have done? 
got any ideas for future years?
 just want to mention how AWESOME UNITY STAMPS are?
leave a comment and i will pick a chick to win this stamp:

winner will be posted tomorrow some time.
