Hi Crafty Friends,
Happy Independence Day to our USA followers! Although it's the Fourth of July, I'm sharing a Christmas card for our Outlawz Festive Friday Challenge.  I love that we have four choices for each month's challenge.  Right now I'm making a big push to fill my holiday card stash.
Your choices for this month's challenge areChristmas (always a choice)Yum Yum (food related)Thank YouBy the Sea
Here's my card.

If you haven't tried Taylored Expressions Create in Quads stencils, let me tell you that they are fabulous and so much fun.  They are 8.5 x 11 and you get 4 completed images at a time.  This is one of the 4 from the Peaceful Pines set. Using these stencils are perfect for mass producing cards!  I also used Gina K Designs Master Layout 2 dies, Whimsy Stamps Merry Christmas sentiment set, and Pinkfresh Studio flat sequins.  

I hope you'll join us.
