Christmas Countdown #1 – Baby's 1st Christmas Featuring Di's Digi Stamps Pussycat Carols

Happy Christmas Eve! Today's #1 Christmas Countdown card is my great-niece's 1st Christmas card. If you're a regular Paperesse reader you've seen the other '1st' cards I've made her this year – 1st Thanksgiving, 1st Halloween, 1st Easter, and 1st Valentine, as well as a mini-album celebrating her 1st Month. And now it's the biggy...1st Christmas, with  Di's Digi Stamps Pussycat Carols digi (retired) in a starring role. My niece loves cats and these three little cats just seemed to me to represent her family. 

It's been a bumper year for favorite Christmas cards. I keep thinking I've found my fav, then I make another one and think the same thing, but this one is right up there at the top of the list. Papers are from Mode & Travaux magazine's Noël 2020 paper issue, as well as an old magazine freebie sheet. The little Christmas tree embellishments I've had a long, long time and never used; I guess I was saving them for this card. Dies are no-brand (stitched squares, circle, and border strip), except for my ever present ric-rac die. The font was created with English 111 Adagio BT font.
