Ho! Ho! Ho! Christmas Card

At the Crop & Create Thunder Bay, I was asked to be a Close to My Heart Vendor. So, I decided to come up with a simple & quick free make 'n' take to offer the participants.

The challenge I gave myself was to use up my white card bases and only use one stamp set.

I love how this turned out; especially since I have such a hard time using white.

I used one sheet of two-sided paper from CTMH's Sparkle & Shine Paper Packet with CTMH White Daisy & Juniper cardstock.

To embellish the card, I used the CTMH Artbooking Cricut Cartridge for the sentiment on the front of the card and the banners were just cut by hand. I also cut on inch off the right side of the front of the card so that the "Ho!Ho!Ho!" would show through.

Crop & Create Challenge #1 - Pink Christmas

Wow! What a Fabulous Weekend I had with my girlfriends at the Crop & Create Thunder Bay.

We created, we shopped, we talked, we laughed and we all had a fabulous time.

I took this weekend getaway for myself and decided to take in the whole experience of the Crop & Create. For me, that meant signing up for at least one workshop & participating in as many of their challenges as possible.

One of their challenges was called The Colour Suite and if you take a look at the photo below, you can see where I got my inspiration from.

Also, Jingle Belles has a challenge going that I was able to incorporate into this card. For every Christmas Card submitted with pink in it, the ladies at Jingle Belles are going to donate $4.00 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer.
