When I saw this week's A La Card Monkey Sketch # 72 I just loved it. Simple yet really classy! I loved the plaid used for the background of the sketch and having just received my Frostwood Lodge DSP ( #124002) paper in my recent order I had to use plaid too. As I don't want to miss this week's challenge, I'm not including a lot of details just pictures that I hope you'll enjoy. The recipe is below.
My background paper is one of the beautiful plaids from the Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper. I ran it through the new Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to give it some more texture. This kind of reminded me of the old flannel pyjamas we got as kids.

| I absolutely love every stamp in the new Christmas Lodge (#123767W or #123769) stamp set on page 29 of the new Holiday Mini catalogue. This set has that old fashioned Christmas feeling to it and I anticipate using it a lot for this season's bevy of cards. There are two fabulous sentiments included in this set and the Merry Christmas one I've used is stamped in Garden Green on Whisper White cardstock and then mounted on Red Riding Hood cardstock. |
Don't you just love this old Lodge? I've stamped it in Garden Green on Whisper White cardstock and mounted it on Riding Hood Red. A little border of Brushed Gold cardstock trims the bottom and a 1/8" garden green colour of satin ribbon is on top (non-SU).

| For the inside of my card I used the second sentiment from this stamp set stamped in Riding Hood Red. To continue the old world feel I used a full strip of the flannel DSP and edged it with the scallop border punch. |

You've used my favorite new stamp set and dsp from the Holiday Mini for your card! I love that you used a strip of the paper inside the card too. It's lovely. Thanks for playing along with our A La Card Monkey challenge this week.
SO cute Penny. I was just looking at that paper this morning trying to think if I was going to get it or not. It is cool looking embossed. It makes me think of that old show "The Waltons" lol "Merry Christmas John Boy"
