It very interesting to think about how just a couple generations ago important news was received by telegram. My card today for the
Color Challenge had me wondering how it felt to get your information this way. I used a collaged image from Oxford Impressions 'Winter Snow' set that contains the telegram as well as the wonderful vintage Christmas tree. I set the tree inside Stampinks Unlimited fabulous shuttered window. Merry Christmas is stamped onto the telegram .
I'm glad for today's technology that keeps us just a touch of the keyboard away from new news...but my Mom won't have any of it though my sibs and I have pleaded for her to get connected. She still wants her news the old fashioned way. And I do respect that, but you'll find me busy texting encouraging notes to my sons or a voice mail to my husband...sweet nothings...I will use what we have to the benefit of my family. And I hope I'll always be willing to learn what's new...so I can keep up!
So this card goes out today to my parents. Some things are just better the old way! How about you?

Gorgeous card...I love the window against the blue...makes it *pop*. I'm a texter {usually 2 pagers!}, emailer and letter writer :) It's all good...
Love this card with the open window. It's hard to imagine a time when the news was not *instant*! I haven't gotten a cell phone here, so I've been without for 5 months...I sometimes feel very disconnected because of it. Like you, I used to text my sons so when they popped their phones on after school they'd have little love notes from me. I miss that!
hugs, Jami
