This is my first entry for the Alphabet Challenge letter N - newsprint. I used the sketch from last Wednesday for my layout.
First I created the wax paper resist background (using regular card stock, not glossy). You can find a tutorials right here: Wax Paper Cuttlebug Resist Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers I sponged Shaded Spruce ink over it. I added newsprint for the center background, edging it with black glitter cs. Just to add a little variety, I added black glitter squares in the background on the diagonal.
I stamped the trees and the wreath using a marker for the star atop the trees and markers for the wreath. These squares are popped up with dimensionals.
Thanks for the challenges and thanks for looking.

Wonderful idea for using the newsprint for Letter N on your Christmas card. The message of Christmas is certainly good news! Terrific use of the sketch. I like how you turned the squares under the images. Great card!
