 As I continued my decluttering effort I came across these 3 pieces. The first is the lovely paper I think came from an old Susan Winget calendar I bought many years ago. Again, I loved her painting style and had glommed onto many calendars, cups, and diaries made with her paintings over the years. As I decluttered the paper items, I must have saved the large December calendar graphic page… what can I say… goes along the Friends of Unity Recycle/Earth Day theme. I die cut it to fit a card. I’m just enamored of that image. 

So, I then looked through my stash again, and looking through other paper ephemera pieces, I picked out a preprinted “MERRY” tag I cut down to use as a sentiment… it has some good foiling on it. I distressed the edges of it.

Looking through loose papers, I found, I think, a few Tim Holtz papers that I must have picked up from maybe an old SSS monthly holiday kit. It matched the colors and style I think of the graphics. So I used that as a background paper. Again, a pretty simple style… I stopped there with just the addition of black framing paper and gold enamel dots. Fun, huh?

Thanks for stopping by again!
