In December I helped my friend, photographer Kristen Mallory, make this awesome diorama to use as the backdrop for her annual Christmas card. I couldn't share it until now because it would have blown the surprise! (ok, technically I could have posted it anytime after Christmas but I was procrastinating busy.) It came out so cute. I was thrilled when I saw the finished product in my mailbox!
Above is a picture of the card in the diorama. Pretty advanced stuff, I know.
To make it we covered a box (stolen from my cats) with pictures we cut from magazines. Blues for the sky, some glaciers for the backdrop, greenery in front and one cup of coffee as a mountain in the front.
Then we filled it with gnomes, forrest creatures, a peppermint disc tree (made by Kristen), mini twinkle lights & some moss and Kristen took pictures of it. (It's amazing what a good photographer can do.)
Ok, that was my last Christmas post of the season. Honest. No more. Scouts honor. I'm done.
