This is for IC521 and our inspiration for this week was to go back into our own favorites gallery and choose a project that we loved and may have forgotten about. I was inspired by Loll's Belleek Christmas Ornament from August 2013. I wanted to keep Loll's ornament theme and I loved that she embossed her ornament. I changed the color combination and used a different ornament but wanted to keep the clean and simple feel of Loll's card. I couldn't resist adding some pine and a gingham bow. You can see more details on my blog post at Kittie Kraft.
I want to take the opportunity to mention several of my friend's project that filled my Favorites Gallery. I have favorites that go all the way back to 2004 and many, many crafter's projects saved there. But I had to laugh as I kept seeing the people below over and over again as I browsed all the way back to my beginnings here on SCS. I was also so intrigued by how the styles and techniques changed as I browsed backward. It was an interesting digression in in how much more simple our projects were years ago.

I had the same experience as I browsed through my favorites ... so much gratitude for those who encouraged and inspired me as I began my papercrafting journey. Gorgeous holiday ornament.

Thanks for including me in your list, Kittie! Just so you know, the card I CASEd this morning (sitting next to yours in the IC521 gallery) is one of yours!
Now, back to our regularly scheduled program: I love your card with its crisp, clean look. The red and white is a wonderful color combination, and the addition of the pine sprigs steps it up several notches!

This has such a wonderful classic look - can't go wrong with red, white and green for Christmas, especially with a bit of gingham tossed in! Interesting to read your list; I have MANY of the same stampers appearing over and over in my favorites, which go all the way back to June of 2003!
