Hi there. I managed 20 minutes of time in my craft room before Jack decided he just had to join me. That was hours ago, and I've finally got this card finished and ready to share.
I believe this is supposed to be mistletoe. But around here, there is an ornamental holly that has similar leaves and red berries. So I took a little creative license and used the red berries. They show up so much better.
I even added some Dazzling Details to give it a frosty look.
The layout is from this card that Denise did and it's the CAS challenge this week on SCS.

Speaking of creative license. Luke brought a Thanksgiving project home from preschool today. It was his Thanksgiving turkey. He pointed out that the leaf behind is his feathers and the yellow is his beak and can you spot both feet? (I think Mr. Turkey was trying to run away and his feet slipped out from under him. LOL.) Here's a peek at it.

I think Luke really liked those googly eyes!
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
I'm so glad you stopped in for a peek.
Enjoy!
OMGosh but I love that turkey!!! =D And I love your holly card too. :-) We've got those holly trees and bushes in our yard--the robins LOVE those berries!
