Let's Start Christmas, Shall We?

Since I am super rusty on the card front, I took it easy and made one with the CAS sketch this week. I used an image from "Gifts of Christmas" (SU!) and then toned down the paper and ink with a mix of Antique Linen and Tea Stain distress inks. The paper is Basic Grey's Wassail from a couple of years back (great DP!). And brads...who knew?!?
Positive note of the day: Actually got to write today. I feel like hiding in my office and not venturing out until my pile is whittled down somewhat! Good luck with that one!
