Santa Slackers Ornament Challenge

I made this card for the Santa Slackers Christmas Card Challenge on the cricut messageboard.  The challenge this week is to make a card using any ornament and add a bow if possible.  I was dying to try my new PK stamps so I had to make something with a face.  I chose Santa, who came together with Paper Doll Dress Up.  The ornament is a shape that I welded from the Christmas Cheer cart.  The scalloped oval is from Elegant Edges.  I found this Pebbles paper at a small "mom and pop" shop outside Albany NY when I picked my daughter up for her Thanksgiving break.  I will be making this shop a regular stop on my college pick up and drop off trips.  Loved their paper selection - and they carried PK stamps!  I could resist them online, but not in person. ;)  Thanks for visiting today.  Hope you have a great week!

    I LOVE those papers....Sandi and I both thought they may have been printed from your I....I love em, no matter where they came from! You did a great job with the PK stamps...you go girl! The 1st time I used them, I had to go back and cut more faces....I found that I press down too hard on the ink pad...live and learn ! Darling card, as usual!!
