From the Artist: Aachen is little, cheerful city in west Germany, famous for its carnival time, Christmas market and of course Charlemagne. Friends and I used to live there. There is not a lot of snow, but when it falls the city looks so beautiful. I painted this winter landscape of Aachen for a friend. Afterwards, I took a photo of it and added text in Photoshop. Et voilà, my card turned out to be ready.

From the Painting Guide: I really love Christmas cards that are personal like this one, that have a story behind the painting on the front. To me it emphasizes the spirit of the season, part of which is to remember friends and the shared memories we have.

Create special memories with seasonal crafts, party ideas, recipes and winter activities.
