This week the challenge at A La Card Monkey is a sketch with a Christmas theme. No problem for me since I've been trying to squeeze in as many Christmas cards lately as I can.
My card has a couple of things on it that I don't think I've used before. On that note, I wish someone could explain to me why I have a strange compulsion to buy cool crafting things, then never use them. I suspect I'm not alone in this, so maybe we should form a support group!
First I used some never-before-used chocolate chip ribbon from a set called Masterpiece. I also used a mini library clip. I've had those for ages and never thought I'd get to use them, but I decided it looked pretty good with my tag here. I had debated about using a button, but I didn't have any chocolate chip ones and nothing else I thought of looked good to my eye. Then I remembered the library clips and my tag was saved!
The pleated flower was made from some Holiday Treasures designer paper using a Sizzix decorative strip die called Mini Paper Rosettes. In fact, all the designer paper on this card is from that set. The sentiment came from the Delightful Decorations stamp set.
I actually got the idea for this tag from a very nice tag that is featured in the Holiday Mini. That tag had a few more layers and some stamp sets that I don't have, but I like my version too!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Jen I'm loving your card. I realize I've got lots of that DSP sitting in the cupboard and I'm guilty of buying and not using too! I love the look of this card, it's fresh and vibrant. TFS.
Beautiful card! I love your flower in the middle! Liebe Grüße Ulrike

Very cute and simple. That rosette on the tag looks great, as does the bit of ribbon, dsp and library clip!
