My Time To Craft Christmas new Theme Have a Krafty Christmas

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! My artsy-crafty heart really likes kraft paper and cardstock! It's great with red for Christmas cards yet it is also wonderful for nature scenes or neutral palette challenges. For the new MTTCC theme challenge, I decided I'd go to my download file of saved free clipart and coloring pages to check and see what I had in the way of Christmas or winter pics. After passing over snowmen and pine trees, my eyes glanced at this multiple houses drawing clipart and then widened. I immediately thought this would be easy to give the house doors either red or green color, maybe some yellow in most of the windows and then pair up with a great small print cardstock. And here's my Christmas card for #14=

Home for the Holidays Christmas card: (or should it be homes for the holidays???)

Design and vendor notes (and there are 3 more cropped scanned pics of the card at the end of this posting):

1. free clipart image of multiple houses with 1 or 2 looking like church buildings

2. three different values of green markers, a red, a brown, and a yellow were used to add some color to the buildings

3. a thin sheet of kraft paper was inserted into my printer tray in order to print out this clipart 'panel' which meets the required theme element of kraft/krafty

4. Fancy Pants Designs 6 x 6 paper pad collection provided the striped cardstock and the sentiment banner; 4" x 6" are the dimensions for the striped background panel

6. Pen + Gear provided the white diamond cut glitter paper; I purchased a 25 sheet pack at Wal-Mart; 4.5" x 6.5" are the dimension for the white glitter paper panel

7. The Paper Source company website was the vendor for the deep red folded card base 5" x 7"; I bought matching envelopes, so that's a wonderful quality for mailing

8. Paper Wishes company website was the vendor for the white and silver metallic border accents and snowflakes that they call dazzles
