Christmas Thank You

Vicki came up with a very classy layout this week.  A really great one for using up those patterned paper scraps that seem to multiply in the night.  The twist for this week's Sketch with a Twist is to make a Thank You card and I don't know about you, but I can never have too many of those.  I chose to go with a Christmas Thank You since I realized I didn't have any in my stash.  I am going to have to work on that.  

I am slowly coming to the realization that I like Kraft paper.  It just seems to make a card feel more masculine than using white as a background.  Today's card is a tribute to the leftover sitting on my crafting table.  The red and green panels were not even cut before mounting on the paper.  The patterned paper was only cut a bit shorter before adding.  I'm really liking the candycane embossing folder.  I hadn't used it much but I think I will in the future.  The sentiment is from MFP's Dogwood Blossoms.
