Jingle Belles....a challenge

I read  Leslie's blog The Crooked Stamper  and if she posts a link, I usually click on it. Leslie is one of the reasons I have a blog and she's one of the reasons I still use my rubber stamps and all this paper. She pushes me.    And it's a good push.     Well today she posted a link to a challenge blog.  So I decided to give it a shot.  Even though I was supposed to be packing up Christmas.
You see in order to put Christmas away, I must walk through my crafty studio. And as any crafter knows .... you can only walk past your supplies a few times before they start calling out your name.
So I grabbed the required "old" stuff and "new" stuff for this weeks challenge and ......
well let's just say I'll be staying up late tonight to finish packing up ornaments.
The whole idea of creating a holiday card every week is very appealing. I know there will be weeks when I won't be able to participate. But I'll give it a shot to at least play once a month.
Here's my card for this week -  Something Old, Something New

OLD

Snowflake paper   -   Anna Griffin   (2007)
Red accent paper   - who knows???

Season's Greetings Rubber Stamp   -   Inkadinkado

Ink - Pallette ... Cognac,  Jardin Moss,  L'Amore Red

NEW
Balsa Wood Snowflake   -   Michael's

 Yes I know Christmas was just a few short days ago, but this will be fun.  Go to jingle belles and see what Lauren and Stef are up to.  Join the challenge and start addressing those envelopes too. Because the holidays are not gonna sneak up on us again.

Oh and while you're at it stop by Leslie's blog too....tell her Marianne @ RuffHaven sent you.
