It's a Mystery

We've been dealing with tornado clean up - from Sunday's storm that "blew over" our house. Yikes! What a mess!!!

Here's a sampling of what we've been cleaning up:

Soooooooo... I'm late to show you my card. The Mystery Image swap was due on the 18th, so I could have shown you then, but I didn't. LOL!

Here she is:

Paola (a.k.a. Sweet P) is the hostess this round, so she provided the image - C.C. Design "Mrs. Claus". I love the smiling face on this image. THANK YOU, Sweet P, for a great image to use!

Truthfully, I didn't use the entire image - I cut it off from the skirt down.) "Mrs. Claus" has one leg bent up, so it looks like she's standing on one leg. I don't know why, but it makes me think of a flamingo... or worse  yet, like she lost a leg due to an injury. So I didn't want to use the bottom of the image. No problem! Nothing a good paper trimmer can't take care of.

I went with minimal layers, flat embellishments, and nearly naked card interior - since these had to be mailed to Canada and I wanted to reduce shipping costs. Call me cheap!

Here's the inside of my card:
