Great layout for a Christmas card

Hello everyone – look at this Great layout for a Christmas card idea using beautiful papers.

Vicky and I have another share for you today with our Anything Goes Saturday series. I have been sharing Christmas cards and Vicky has been working on a mini album and a few Christmas cards. Make sure you go over and see what she did when you finish here. You can find her video here.

For my idea today I wanted to use a beautiful collection I got but had not used yet. The Monday Christmas Blessings has gorgeous Christmas papers in blues and browns. If you know me I love nontraditional colors for Christmas so this one was right up my alley.

I began with the Mojo sketch #539.

Here is what I created using these papers.

After I made the first card I used the same sketch to make 2 more ideas. The first one has a snow theme.

The last card I modified the sketch some as the paper was just too pretty to hide.
