I started these cards for several of the challenges, including the F4A to use frames, and last week's TSC to make a Christmas card with non-traditional colors, three layers and a punch. Even though the papers have Christmas themes, they aren't traditional colors. But then I accidentally accessorized with silver and gold, definitely traditional Christmas colors~ Then I thought I'd use this week's CAS, partial images, but by the time I finished them they weren't really clean and simple anymore. Even though I goofed on the challenges, I really like how they turned out. Thanks for looking!!
