AFSS42 - Unconventional Christmas

This week's one is an easy one (I think!). Make a Christmas card with patterned paper that is not Christmas-y (I was inspired to choose this theme thanks to Stef's card where she used Basic Grey's Sultry)! Keeping up with the Basic Grey theme, I chose Two Scoops!



Should you want to participate in this week's challenge, here are the rules:

  • Create a paper craft and then link to it from this post.
  • Should you elect to upload it to SCS, please use the keyword AFSS42.
  • Get your entries in by 7 PM MST next Sunday and I will draw a winner who will receive some goodies from me!
This week's winner is Stef! I will e-mail you this time!

BTW, should you want to see all of the AFSS41 entries, click here.
