Hi everyone!
The Paper Players challenge this week is a sketch from Joanne:
I used one of my favorite stamps this Christmas from Papertrey called Favorite Things. I embossed it in white on some crumb paper and added some splatters with a toothbrush. I LOVE doing that!
Then I cut out an oval and a tree with some scraps of plaid paper, and added a snowflake and holly. I tied on my string and added an enamel dot in the center of the snowflake.
The second card was also made with some plaid scraps and crumb paper. I cut out 2 trees from Concord and 9th and embossed the sentiment from My Favorite Things In and Out Christmas in white onto the crumb tree. Then I cut it to fit on top of the plaid tree, and tied on a string.
I just have so much fun making Christmas cards...they are my very fave!

Love them both!
These are fantastic, Laurie! Adore the look of white embossing on Crumb Cake--such a great rustic look that coordinates perfectly with your pretty plaid paper. Fabulous use of the sketch too!
I love LOVE the white splatters on kraft! These are warm and wonderful and simply brilliant!
Wonderful card! Love the kraft paper with Christmas tree and red background. I can hear My favorite Things playing in my head...lol
Where did you get the red enamel dots? I have the hardest time finding really red ones. And, I love both these cards. A great way to use up some pretty scrap paper. Thanks.
I love your fabulous fun Christmas tree designs on these cards. Great work indeed!
There's something about plaid that really says Christmas to me! These cards are lovely. They've got a warm and homey feel to them. And I love that you add splatters with a toothbrush! Great idea!
I absolutely adore your cards! The kraft with the plaid is fabulous and I love your take on the sketch!
Laurie, I love the layering with the holly leaves behind the snowflake on the tree in the first card and your white paint splatters, and the colors of your paper are perfect! Such pretty cards!
Fabulous cards Laurie! The combination of the Crumb Cake and plaid with white is super! Wonderful designs as always.

Oh my I couldn't wait to comment on your card this week Laurie - that is my favourite tune (I'm singing it now!) Love the plaid and the white embossing on the crumb cake with the splatters is so classy. These are two gorgeous Christmas cards - thanks for rocking my challenge this week!
LOVE this! Love the plaid, the splatters, the 'brown paper package' - all of it! Thanks so much for joining us at Christmas Card Challenges.
Laurie I absolutely love both of your plaid and kraft creations! Love the white ink splatters, too. I've not tried your technique of using a toothbrush. Did you use craft ink? Would love to hear more...
These are both wonderful!! I love the Kraft/plaid combo! Great card!!
