Christmas Thank You

Guess I should make a new year's resolution to blog and post more cards in 2015.  I could, but don't know if I would be successful.  Sometimes life just gets in the way.

But not today!!  I needed a thank you card to send to someone who is really special and that was my goal for the day.  But as I was looking at my emails this morning I saw I could make my thank you card which could also be a card for the Cas-ual Fridays Challenge, Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge and the Christmas Card Challenge.  Wow!  Four goals accomplished with one card.  Eureka!!

NOTE:  This a new picture that I loaded a day later.  Better light = better picture!




This is the original picture.  Sad, I know.



Wish my camera took better pictures of red- sorry about that.  The base of the card is a kraft card.  Kraft paper always looks so good with red, white and green.  Love it.

The layout of the card follows the sketch for the Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge.The Cas-ual Fridays challenge required felt and sequins.   So I cut the felt poinsettia with the die set from Paper Smooches and the sentiment is from Paper Smooches as well.

I hope my friend likes this card.  It was fun to make.

         





Ok, that's for the start of 2015.  Happy New Year!!!
