Tickets, Please {Christmas Wishes}

Pin It Now! I'm so glad I've come across the Merry Monday challenge. A new Christmas card challenge every Monday! Yay, a chance to use all those stamp sets & products I bought for Christmas, but like many of us, didn't have enough time to use during the holidays.

Or, in this case, making Christmas cards out of Spring mini items!











Here's a 4-1/4" square card base from Naturals Composition DSP, with a cluster of tickets and trim, including Flower Trim, Lace Tape, Doily paper, and Linen Thread.

The ticket stamp is a very versatile new set, That's the Ticket.

Only 328 days til Christmas. What are you waiting for? Get a jump on your cards! :)
Click below to visit the challenge.  It's a tic-tac-toe challenge, and I chose the bottom row...DSP, Red/Green, and Ribbon...the linen thread, lace tape, bitty bit of Natural Trim ribbon, and flower trim loosely translated to ribbon!

I've got my dear Gram on my mind today, she would have been 92 today, but lived to see 90 birthdays. She was my biggest fan. I hope you have one of those people in your life, too! What a blessing. Here's a picture of her at a bus station photo booth around 1940. I keep it in the window of my craft room :)









Pretty girl!

Have a blessed & creative day.
Erika
