Marchin' Around the Christmas Tree

Isn't this toy soldier and Christmas tree die cut beautiful?  It is from the recent ephemera packet by October Afternoon.  A few months ago I sorted half of my 6x6 papers by color (the less used pads I left together by collection.)  The new filing system made it easy for me to pair papers and design a card around this darling die cut.  The die cut is even colored on both sides, in case you wanted to place him facing left.  I think that is design genius and ideal especially if planning a scrapbook layout/mini book.  All I needed was a little sentiment, and this SRM sticker fit the bill.

I am entering this in the current Jingle Belles challenge:  Oh Christmas Tree.

Happy Tuesday!  Be sure to stop by tomorrow…I have something special to share.

Lovely card, June - that little soldier is gorgeous alright, I love all those retro Christmas images. He is perfect with those papers, too.
