Merry Christmas

I had a couple of Christmas cards that I had photographed but not shared last year. After seeing Claire's sketch over at The Paper Players, I remembered this one and thought it would work. Let's see what you think!



As you can see, the sketch has been flipped on it's ear! I topped a knit embossed panel with a strip of my favorite polka dot paper with a border added. Both cut with PPP border dies. The fun focal is a big sugar cookie by Birch Press Design. A couple of pine sprigs and... ta-da!

    I think I love it - and I'm sure Claire will agree! I'm loving that extra bit of scallop by your polka strip, Lisa - and what a fabulous cookie!

    That worked out perfectly having a card with the sketch, even if it is just a little tweaked 😀. Lovely Christmas card.

    This is such a sweet card, Lisa, pun intended. The frailness of the pines works beautifully with that fun decorated cookie.
