Holiday Leftovers (a scrappy Christmas card)

I have not made a really scrappy card in a long time.  It is rewarding to me to use those bits of papers...a sane person would toss in the bin...and put them together to create a card.  I used a scrap of white cardstock and glued bits of BasicGrey "Eskimo Kisses" 6x6 papers to create a present.  Then I trimmed the square a smidge, added Hero Arts adhesive woven lace ribbon, and popped up on foam squares.  For my sentiment, I used a K&Co. "Yuletide" rub-on and gem, then added leftover BasicGrey snowflake and swirl rub-ons in white.

I am entering this card at Jingle Belles' "Holiday Leftovers" challenge.  My inspiration came from these scrappy present cards I made in February of 2008.

Happy Friday!
