Christmas Cupcake

Well, hello, everyone!  It's Friday again and that means time for another Christmas Stampin' All Year Long Challenge.  This week we have another easy one for you: Your favorite color combo.  Our sponsor is Meljen's Designs and the prize will be some of their adorable images.
  Now, I said that this challenge was an easy one, but it didn't turn out so for me. : )  My favorite color is blue, so I thought to use that at first.  But then I saw some of the other DT members had used it, so I wanted to do something a bit different.  My favorite card combo is pink and green.  But that isn't really Christmas-y (though I have used it once or twice).  Then, I thought about how elegant the black and white combo is with a pop of red and decided to go with that.  Phew!  So, after all that, here is the card:
Now, hop on over to the CSAYL blog to see the other projects and the full details.  Hopefully, you will have an easier time choosing your favorite color combo.

Challenges:
Crimbo Crackers #60--cute Christmas
Suzy Bee's Blooming Challenge #20--emboss it (I used heat embossing on my background; both the swirls in black and the snowflakes in gold)
Lacy Sunshine #29--anything goes
Lexi's Creations #112--use your punches and dies
Sweet Stamps #161--anything goes
Die Cuttin' Divas--snack lovers (I love cupcakes!  I just think they are so cute!!)
Tuesday Throwdown #187--tic-tac-toe (I used bling, a digi, and ribbon)
Twisted Tuesday #72--Don't go near the edge with the twist of using dictionary paper
Crafting By Designs--use a ribbon (the black strip behind the snowflake is black grossgrain ribbon)
Crafty Creations #259--Holiday
Paper Pretties #302--create your own background
Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2--sketch
