Here it is, the end of the first week of January and I am starting Christmas cards! I am determined to get them finished before last minute this year. This card uses the Sweet Stop Sketch #140,the challenge from Crimbo Crackers (all Christmas cards, yeah!) to use only black and white, the Our Daily Bread Designs challenge #91 to use something new (Ornamental Christmas by Verve--a brand new stamp set I just got last week) AND something old (had these snowflake stamps from Inkadinkado forever!!), the Last But Not Least challenge to use something new, and the Crafty Hazelnut Christmas Challenge #54 to create a Christmas card with something recycled (see that awesome netted "ribbon" bow? Yep, recycled from my daughter's Christmas dress. She stepped on the netting and ripped it and I had to cut off about 1 inch all around to even it out. Figured it could be used for something and this was perfect.)Saturday, January 7, 2012
