Freshly Made Sketches 411

I'm feeling like it's that time of year when I switch over to the Christmas channel!  Despite my best intentions I always seem to come up short when it comes to my Christmas card stash so it seems every card I make nowadays has a holiday theme.  Today is no different.  The occasion is our newest challenge at Freshly Made Sketches, our hostess is Kim, and my theme is plaid!

I absolutely love this plaid paper from Stampin' Up!  Plaid, as it turns out, is not that easy to find.  Especially ones that are of a holiday nature.  So when I saw this particular set I knew that I needed to scoop it up or forever regret that I didn't. I tore the edges of design so that I could play along with the Less is More challenge.  Then I added my favorite poinsettia layered in white and vellum cardstock as well as a simple sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!  My Freshly Made Sketches teammates have made some fantastic card for this challenge so be sure to check them out. I hope you will join us in the gallery!
