Christmas in the tropics! The challenge at Peace on Earth Christmas challenge has a very tropical mood board. Although I do have a few fun Santa in the tropics stamps, I decided to work off of the tropical colors for my inspiration and a beachy background scene. My retro ornaments and stamps are from Taylored Expressions. Beautiful Baubles is a layering stencil with coordinating dies and add on clear stamps. My background patterned paper is Paper House’s World Beaches paper pad.
I guess the fires in Maui are on my mind especially since my daughter and family are trying to get home from the islands.
My card today will be shared with:
Peace on Earth Christmas: Challenge #45

Thanks so much Lisa.
Your pp adds the perfect back drop for the tropical scene
Thanks, Bonnie, it’s a great paper pad and seemed to fit the look I was hoping to achieve.
Most definitely
Very lovely tropical Christmas card. I love those retro ornaments. I hope your daughter and family return soon and safely.
Thanks, Gerry, it is being very challenging trying to deal with uncooperative airlines apparently.
Love your tropical holiday card with all those beautiful colors. Praying your daughter and family get home safely.
Thanks so much Lisa. My daughter and family are ok and have figured out all of the arrangements for thie return flight.
That’s great news.
What a beauty and you captured the tropical vibe perfectly. We didn’t know about the fires in Maui as we’ve seen no TV, Internet or phone stuff for 5 days. I heard about them this morning. Glad your family is safe and can get home.
Thanks, Johanna, they never made it to Maui becuase of the fires and thankfully are safe and still having a great time.
That is good as I’m sure you would have been upset and worried.
What a lovely tropical Christmas card.
Gayle, this is a beautiful card! Love the colors you used for your ornaments.
Thanks so much Golda.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us at POE Christmas Challenge.
