Time to decorate

I went into Christmas overdrive yesterday, doing my first round of shopping and decorating the Christmas tree. I also made one more card, so hopefully I have enough now.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKAK0X5WFqW36be9RYR1K_g-RWcQAXaYavp99fxeksz3xEq9_-XF80zNDDw0K7SK3m3at926K698Wa3VpUn6cB0CVl_bsi6t0IWznMOrSjZh9wG0ua4ADe-xLGTm_vFUvaTnweJaPhKVo0/s1600/Mojo427.gifThe card was inspired by the photo inspiration at the Share The Joy challenge, and the sketch is from Mojo Monday.  The ornaments are from a set by Hero Arts (maybe... it has disappeared in the current mess) and they are silvere mbossed on green snippets (the green paper has a slightly raised stripe pattern that showed up in the embossing, but I'm calling that texture...).  The sentiment is from the dollar bin at Michael's, also on snippets, with the silver paper recycled from some advertising brochure that arrived in the mail and got added to the snippets bin.  The red, still another snipped, is cut with a Marianne border die.
