Hi, I have been with GCU over three years, now, and love it. I am a photographer and have a vast, varied index of my photography, and use my photographs for my cards, throwing in some Photo Shop effects now & then. I chose this card because it reminds me of the Thanksgiving my husband and I spent with our daughter and other children, grandchildren, sisters & brothers in Ohio two years ago. This card is not a huge seller; I’ve only sold 6 of them since I created it, but the photo is one of my favorites, as it was taken at our daughter’s home in Ohio. We had driven up from Florida to spend the Thanksgivng holiday with her, her children, some of our other children, and a few other relatives. Since we would not be there for Christmas, she set up her house for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was beautiful, with the Christmas tree, the fireplace, and the stockings. I took many photos and decided to use this one to create some Christmas cards, with atmosphere. It is strictly my photograph with a stock Photo Shop background added.



This is such a beautiful photo Priscilla – it has a lovely warm feel about it. Perhaps Christmas 2011 will be the big selling year??
I think it’s gorgeous, well done.

Beautiful card, Priscilla!
Congratulations on your spotlight, Priscilla. Your card is perfect for the holidays…warm and inviting! Best wishes for many more sales!
Your photo is so inviting Priscilla, it just makes me want to walk right in and warm my hands by the fire and I can even smell the fresh pine scent from the tree! To have such beautiful memories attached to it, makes it even more special. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Priscilla, Congratulations and I too find this card image entrancing. Isn’t it amazing how when you use a photo that touches your own heart strings, it also stirs like emotions in others! When I look at this image, “I’m there.” Thanks!
