No card post today. I've been gone all day, first to the dentist and then Christmas shopping. I got most of it done but wore myself out.
When I got home, there was a package waiting. I had to send my Expression back to Provocraft because it wasn't cutting correctly. That was a month ago and I've been getting by with my Baby Bug. It works great but there are a few things it doesn't do. I had been thinking today about emailing them about when I could expect it's return. eeeoooooeeee. Spooky. Must have been a premonition. Now I'm off to get it out of the box and try it out.

Gifts
I made a quick card today in order to make it into the Freshly Made and Fantabulous Cricut challenges on time. The Freshly Made sketch is below.
The packages are cut from the CM 'Tis the Season cartridge, using a couple of papers from MME's Lost and Found, and popped up with foam. The stripe is from the same stack as the trees. I inked it all with Antique Linen Distress Ink to keep with the paper color.
Now I have to get back to the craft room to make more cards for several other challenges. Someday I'll decide which of these cards will be the ones I want to make in multiples for sending to friends and familly.
The Fantabulous Cricut challenge was a holiday card. That left me wide open. The minute I saw this tree pattern from an old Christmas stack I knew I could make a rather vintage looking card. And what better to go with trees than gifts.

Dear Santa
I had several ideas for the card challenge at Mojo Monday.
I was definitely going to do the square card and decided to do it this way.
I thought the dark strips looked like a belt so I made one. The buckle is cut from 'Tis the Season cartridge. I used a black patent paper from a texture and finishes stack by DCWV for the belt and silver for the buckle. I tore a strip of white and cuttlebugged it to look like Santa's fur. The scroll is also cut from 'Tis the Season. It actually looks better than I imagined. I'm also entering this in Fantabulous Cricut - holiday card.
