Quiet Christmas...



So thrilled to be chosen  in the Top 3 over at Atlantic Hearts (this week) for this card I made in conjunction with Double Trouble!











I made this Saturday and will link to the Atlantic Hearts challenge and Double Trouble when it goes live on Monday.   Not sure why but I forgot to link this card to any of the challenges!    I recently purchased a 6 pack bundle of Scrapbook.com Designer papers 6 x 8 (40 sheets to a pad).    I think I will get loads of use out of these.  I got the bundle for 29,99  and several freebies (had to pay shipping).   It doesn''t appear to be available anymore.   The card features 3 different sheets from the Christmas collection.  I cut the trees with Honey Bee dies and embossed with a crinkly embossing folder (that I think looks all tree branchy).  I'm linking at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge and 52 CCT22-24 (dry embossing of trees).   I love creating in monochromatic color and adding a pop of color ~  Thanks for stopping in,   Smiles. Kathy

PS back over with Double Trouble,  Turns out Twisted Sister and Crazy Cousin are very nice,  It doesn't pay to stereotype! After all a name is just a name....
