Its two days after Christmas, and your house is a mess from all of the holiday celebrations! This week we want you to recycle something from Christmas to create a non-Christmas card. You can use wrapping paper, bows, ornaments, core gated cardboard, etc…the possibilities are endless! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

On my card I used the BG Jovial paper, that I neglected while making my Holiday cards this year. I thought the poinsettias resembled the flowers from the Dance stamp set, and I think it matches nicely. I also have baker’s twine, that I previously used to wrap some of my presents.

Supplies: cardstock: cream, red; paper: Basic Grey (Jovial); stamps: There She Goes (Dance, Dream A New Dream, In Stitches); ink: ColorBox (Maroon), Memento (Tuxedo Black), Versa Color (Olive), Hero Arts (Fresh Leaf), Versa Magic (Spanish Olive); Copic markers; baker’s twine; Nestabilities Circles, Scalloped Circles; glitter: Reeves; white pen

I used Card Patterns sketch 96:

Hello, I hope you’re having a wondeful Christmas! Ours has been awesome, it’s been such a joy to see Zuzia interacting with the rellies, especially with her cousins
Now we’re looking forward to two weeks for ourselves, it’s such a great feeling to know that hubby is not leaving for work tomorrow!
I’m actually popping in just very quickly, with a card that I just made for Mercy’s MTSC105. I had to play before it finishes, especially that these fabulous challenges are coming to an end. Is it just me, or the best challenges around are disappearing lately?? I’m not a happy Chupa… some of my favourites are amongst them :/
Anyhoo, here’s the card…
