Sweet Holiday Wishes

Okay, I'm getting back into the swing of crafting since my recent MIA! I've done lots of prep and hoping to post a card a day (but don't hold me to it...). As some of you may recall, I won the November Guest Designs slot over at the Quixotic Inspiration blog. This is my first card for them using Kraftin' Kimmies Noelle (you buy her here) and that lovely new Mistaletoe paper by Memory Box (you can buy it here).

Using my trusty Copies, I wanted a lighter look rather than the traditional deep red and greens so I added a light aqua to her dress. I wasn't sure if it would work, but I like the way it makes the card a bit fresher. I also found some more of that felt ribbon in my stash and added it for depth and texture - it's fabby stuff! If you look very carefully, you can see I also did some paper piecing but you can hardly see it so I think I should have gone for more spacing and deeper holes. Hey ho, everyone's a critic!

Anyway, hope you are all having a great week and, after all, tomorrow is Friday - WOO HOO!
