A "Joy to the World" Card...

Since I was working on my Christmas cards over the weekend, I guess I'm still in holiday mode.  This week's CPS sketch as well as the Everything But the Kitchen Sink challenge were pretty similar.  I think this card would fit both sketches.  Paper Maniac is sponsoring the EBTKS one and giving away a $20 gift certificate.

I used papers from the 6x6 paper pad 'Tis the Season from Kaiser Craft.  There was a sheet of these different colored damask stripes that work perfectly for the sketches.  The newsprint patterned paper has writing about Christmas and Santa on it.

The sentiment is embossed in gold.  I love how it shows up so well on patterned paper.

I hope you all had a great weekend!  I'll share some pics of ours soon.  Have a great day!
