A time for celebration

This is my interpretation of the December card sketch from Stick it Down

 

Merry Christmas

 

A Christmas card that my parents sent to my dad's aunt in 1965.  His daughter found it and gave it to me.  It has my dad's writing on it.

Challenges used:

My recipe is Jello Plum Pudding.  It was a favorite jello salad served at all our family gatherings on my mom's side.  I remember helping my grandma make it a few times.  She used shears to cut the dates and had an old hand chopper.  As a child we would eat so much that our bellies would be hurting afterwards

My challenge is:

• Mix things up by us using some patterned paper
• Do some fussy cutting
• Add some small embellishments (pop dots, enamel dots, buttons etc)
• Add a ribbon.  I used stars.  
• Use the sketch provided.  I found it at acherryontop:
