TSTR93 "A Kraft-y Christmas"

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope this post finds you spending some quality time with those you love. The Christmas season is a wonderful one and as I write this post I am finishing up a few details at home before the step-children and their children arrive!

This post is for this week's Shabby Tea Room Challenge. The ladies are using the following inspiration photo...



and Char asks participants to create a card or project inspired by the above photo and USE KRAFT, RED, NEWSPRINT, SILVER AND A STAR!

And my take on the challenge...



I used Echo Park's Season's Greeting collection for my designer paper along with some kraft and black card stock touches. I edged one panel with a dab of ecru lace and then placed a double tied red satin ribbon on top. The silver frame is actually an ornament I picked up at a local Dollar Store in the last few weeks. I cut out the plastic layer and then cut a piece of black card stock to adhere to the backing. I embossed the sentiment (from Our Daily Bread Designs' Warm Wishes set) in silver. After placing the frame and sentiment on my card I found a chip board gold star which I distressed and added to the top of the frame. A few sprigs of paper punched greenery finish it off! Super easy and fun to do...

Thanks so much for stopping in and let me extend my sincere wishes for a safe and wonderful Christmas season...

Blessings...
