I love the retro style of Christmas in the 50's, when I was a child. One of my favorite memories is of the gifts we kids received from our Aunt Ethel. She always added a very fancy embellished bow on her packages, the kind with bells or sparkly berries, etc. It was my favorite part of her gift! I added the punched fir branches, gold snowflakes, and tartan Candi dots to my card as a little tribute to Aunt Ethel.
Thanks for stopping by today! Please leave a comment. Have a wonderful holiday season!

YOur card is so pretty, I do love the Santa on the train image, that is so cute. My dh and I are train hobbiest so of course I love Santa riding a train! Thanks for joining our challenge at The Funkie Junkie Boutique.
Thanks, Maggi. My DH has many of his trains from the 50s and always set them up with our son. Now he has given them to our son and he continues the tradition with his two little boys! He built an even bigger train table than we had! Merry Christmas!
