Here's what I have to share with you today:
I made this card for a swap with a group on Facebook where we had to make a stationary box and include 5 cards of various seasons, birthday, or sympathy. The card base is Recollections A2 card base. The background paper is Craft Smith Olde Time Christmas 6 x 6" Paper Pad. The digital cutting file was a freebie from Lori Whitlock -- it's Kolette Hall Studio Look A Lot Like Christmas tree. It's not available right now, but she does have a few other freebies available. It might be available for a small fee. Feel free to check out her website, she always has some great files and scrappin' ideas to share. The washi tape is from my stash, I threw away the original packaging. I left the inside blank so my swap partner could use it in the future. Thanks for stopping by!  Now you're off to JEARISE's blog where I'm sure she has something awesome to share! :)

Here is today's hop line-up in case you get lost along the way.
