I Have a Reason!

The challenges are starting to turn to favor Christmas cards. I finally have a reason to jump in and get some done. Motivation on my own has been very low this year!

I have had a number of friends give me large bags of their old Christmas cards. I methodically go through them and pick out a few that might make a good background, any that have a feature I might be able to use and the rest are torn apart for the blank cardstock possibilities or go into the recycle bin.



 
This was super simple using the squares off of a card, backing with paper from JoAnne's Store, popping up the little star, topped with a bow and mounted on my green handmade cardstock after embossing the front with the Cuttlebug Forest folder.

The stamping was done inside for a finished look.
