Non Traditional Merry Christmas

I cannot believe I've been swapping cards with the Sisterhood for almost a year now. Wow! This month was Lindalee's turn to hostess. She chose a fun theme - Christmas! BUT she also gave us specific instructions. We could not use the traditional red and green color scheme. What's a girl to do??? Go with some of Stampin' UP!'s in colors, of course.


Although the colors are not traditional, I did choose a traditional theme for my card - baby Jesus!


I must admit I am not very fond of this card. It looked much better in my head than it does on paper. But my friends over in the Sisterhood are very forgiving so they will give me another chance next month. I love that group!!!
