Kathleen is challenging us to use our resolutions as inspiration for this week's CAS challenge.
One of my (I have several) crafty goals/resolutions is to create more Christmas/Winter cards throughout the year than I did last year. So here's my first Christmas card of 2015, I need four more before February.
To create my background I used the Wrinkle Free Distress technique with TH Distress inks, Broken China and Seedless Preserves.
When staging my card I had to laugh. I have a 12x12 piece of DP that looks just like my background. I guess I could have saved a little work and just cut the DP for the background, but what's the fun in that, right?
Thank you to Brenda for the wonderful tree RAK!
I am adding this to January's Fan Club Christmas challenge found HERE. For January we can choose a past challenge so I decided to choose the first one, "Jan 2012" to use something new. The die cut was my NEW.

Just gorgeous, Angie! That die is spectacular as is your background! I am usually not one for purple, but this is stunning. I had to go back and look at your staging paper; LOL! Great crafting funny!
