Over on Paper World, we have a challenge to work on our Christmas cards throughout the year. I thought that if I issued the challenge that I would feel more obligated to participate and to actually get all my cards done this year! I did better last year, but I still ran out before everyone got one. I used this image that Kathy sent me and I believe it is from High Hopes. She actually stamped me a huge assortment of various images that I have been having fun coloring. I colored the image with Copic markers and used foam dots to attach it to my scalloped ovals. I used the Martha Stewart branch punch to decorate around the bow. The papers are from DCWV and the ribbon came from Big Lots. I have been lucky enough to find ribbon there several times and I have been very happy with it. The quality is good and there is always a lot of ribbon on the spool and it usually only costs $1.00. Have a great night!
