Blue Christmas

Don't you love that Elvis song? It's sooo different from the other carols playing on the all-Christmas music channels that you always notice it.

So when the challenge at Less Is More became 'Shades of Blue' at the same time a bunch of the Christmas in July challenges were posted, I thought I'd try a non-traditional card.


For the challenges at:
Less Is More - CAS with Shades of Blue
The Paper Players - Christmas in July
Allsorts Challenge Blog - Anything goes

The recipe:
Images: CHF Scene It! winter
Cuttlebug embossing folder
Shimmery silver ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Please leave a comment, and come again soon!

    The trio of trees in blue is wonderful. Love this color scheme. The silver ribbon really is the perfect finishing touch and works beautifully with the textured backgrounds.
    So glad you joined the Paper Players this week
