Christmas Card for 2013

Hi everyone, The blogs have come to life after the Holidays and it is so fun to visit everyone!
I thought I should get ahead with my Christmas Cards this year so I am starting early and enter a few challenges too.


I used some Simple Story papers and older Magnolias that are just so sweet to make a card with. I made a pull out tag on this one.



On the top of my tag is a ribbon adorned with some berries and beads given to me by my friend CathyLynn.  I have been staring at them for a while now waiting to use them. 
Thanks Cathy!


The tag is on the outside of the card and slips into the pocket I made with Merry & Bright.  When the tag goes in, Tildas little feet dangle over the & in the sentiment.

The inside of the card has another sweet Tilda on it and Santa's hat.


A dimensional view


I would like to enter this into the following challenges

Thank you for leaving your comments behind, I enjoy reading them
Have a very nice weekend!
Kelly

    Hi Kelly,
    What a GREAT card! Love how you have designed it.
    You even got two Tilda's beautifully coloured on it.
    Great pocket with tag - I wonder if it could be used
    as a bookmark? Like your happy paper as well.
    Hugs, Candy
