Christmas Present

 I decided to recycle some of the Christmas cards I received this year.  The present was recycled from one of those cards.  I found some red dotted ribbon in my bits and pieces stash and then found some matching patterned paper scraps to go with the color scheme.  The three snowflakes were part of a bunch of crafty items I bought at a yard sale a couple years ago.  They were already punched and I adhered two together to create each element, to give a little depth and stability.

I added a little bit of red and white twine, a little red brad and a stamped sentiment to finish it all off.

Supplies:
Stamps: Verve "Ornamental Christmas" sentiment
Martha Stewart snowflake punch

Challenges:
Unicorn Challenge #75--dots and/or stripes (dotted ribbon)
Sparkles #134--Santa Claus is coming to town (there are two Santas on my patterned paper, and they brought a gift)
Cards Galore #97--anything goes
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper--anything goes with patterned paper
Winter Wonderland--Christmas presents













Christmas Kickstart #60--snowflakes are winter's butterflies

    Lol, I do really like this card, great colors and design. I can count those peeping Santas, I suppose! He must be more shy than I remembered, lol. A very fun collection of details! Thanks so much for playing at Sparkles!

    Love this - especially the little right top corner turned over. It is just the little things that make a card so special.

    I love a bit of recycling and you did a magnificent job on this image. Bold and beautiful and I particularly like the echoed snowflakes on the polka dot ribbon.
