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!
