December Challenge at Paper Sweeties

It's time for a fun new challenge at Paper Sweeties; and with Christmas fast approaching, this is a great time to make and share a Christmas card or project with us.  You aren't required to use Paper Sweeties products to play along; but if you have some, we sure do love seeing them.  You don't have to take the inspiration photo literally (meaning you don't necessarily have to use stockings).....you can let your creativity run wild and do ANYTHING Christmas inspired.  Here's what I was inspired to create:

I inked my two patterned papers to create my card base, and ran a length of Licorice Seam Binding.  I stamped and colored sweet Emma and cut her out using the Emma Sweet Cut.  Emma's adorable Christmas pajamas, teddy bear and sweet wool blanket are all from the I Love You Stamp Set.  I added a bow of the Licorice Seam Binding and Mint Seam Binding.  

There's a small piece of a Red & White Cenille Candy Cane tucked into my bow.  Finally, I added a small tag from the Stitched Tags #1 Sweet Cuts in red, and then added another tag with a stamped sentiment (Sending Warm Huge & Kisses) from the Let It Snow stamp set.  We hope that you will stop by to play along in this fun Christmas challenge.  And for more inspiration, you can stop by these lovely blogs where my talented Paper Sweeties teammates have created something special for you.
