CTD#221/RS#40 - Merry Christmas

 It's time for the Color Throwdown Challenge!  Our hostess for this week's challenge is Barbara who chose these wonderful colors and picture to get us all in the holiday spirit.

For the last few month's I've been trying to be really good about not buying new stamps and using what I have, especially holiday stamps.  I've got so many stamp sets that have hardly seen ink and to buy more stamps especially holiday stamps which only get used once a year just doesn't make sense.  For example, the Papertrey Ink stamp set Made of Snow that I used on my card for today, I bought it last year and I am just now starting to use it to create cards.  Don't get me wrong, it's super hard not buying any of the fun new Christmas stamps and dies that came out last month, but I'd just a soon spend my money on something I can use all year long like birthday, thinking of you or get well sets.

That being said...for the card I created today I used the colors from this week's CTD challenge and the layout from the Retro Sketches Challenge #40.

Supplies: Made of Snow + dies, Sending Holiday Cheer (sentiment) Hero Arts, My Mind's Eye dp, Nestibilites, Glitter, Button, Ribbon, Foam tape.
