The Kraft Journal - Something New

I don't suppose that I will be able to make many more "holiday" cards this year.  So, for my project this week at The Kraft Journal, I decided to make one last holiday card.  I started with a  Lunch Bag Kraft Blank Note Card from The Kraft Outlet along with some Simple Stories patterned papers and stickers, vintage lace,  buttons with glitter, Red Baker's Twine, and I made a tiny little tag that I cut from Lunch Bag Kraft Cardstock.  Our challenge this week is "Something New", and so for my "Something New", I used a small piece of Music Washi Tape and let me tell you - the new washi tapes available now at The Kraft Outlet are super adorable.  I couldn't resist getting myself "Something New".  I hope that you will take time this week to stop by The Kraft Journal to play along in the "Something New" challenge.  It's lots of fun.
I'm entering this card in a few challenges as follows:

I hope that you're all having a great week, and that you're keeping warm wherever you are.  Have a blessed day, and I look forward to visiting your blog today.

    Great project Karen. Too bad I can't participate in the Kraft Journal Challenges. I've never even heard of their products and try to avoid purchasing things online unless absolutely necessary.

    Thanks for popping over on behalf of Word Art Wednesday. I appreciate you taking the time to come over and leave a comment.

    Karen,
    How can anyone take all those elements and have a mini masterpeice emerge? I so like this card, every bit of it but the music washi tape may be my favorite.
    Blessings

    What a cute card, Karen! I agree with Carole, I love the way you put a bunch of elements together and have them go so well! I can't do that at all!

    Thank you for your sweet comments! It's always encouraging to see them on my blog. BTW, I use the Bow-Easy for almost all my bows...you can get it at Really Reasonable Ribbon and a bunch of other places. Blessings! Kathy

    I love all the layering in your artsy card designs. We still have 4 days left of Christmas, so you may have time for a couple more. Blessings!

    My Dearest Karen - Your gifting is not only crafting but an encourager! You leave such wonderful comments on my blog - you see what I do not see and that blesses me (we are our own worst critic you know)~ thank you for stopping by so often and visiting my blog - I do want to say, I love your style in crafting - I need to LEARN from you on layering - I guess I am just going to have to lift a few of your creations and study the layering to see if I can model you! This creation today is so lovely - just lovely I say! Thanks for be a great cyberfriend -Enjoy your day - It is the Day the Lord has made! I am rejoicing!

    Hi Karen,

    seee SEEEE???? I actually MADE it here haha, and because of your oh so thoughtful emailing me every now and again YOUR challenge here was the FIRST one I thought to do in this brand new year.

    Your card is sooo lovely. I sometimes take the "Merry Monday" challenge with my sister, so will do festive cards thru the year (SO nice to be stocked up for the season when it comes instead of being held hostage to it - specially with craft fair sales etc) If you feel festive why not join us one time? I just take part in the challenge, not admin or anything like that.

    Karen, you've been a blessing to me and I truly have appreciated the time you take out to visit my blog and email. I pray the Lord showers you with especial love this year!

    ♥ Barb
