"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before.
We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty."
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Fab's Big Christmas Card Challenge week #24

The last time I did Fab's challenge was week #14. I got busy and wasn't blogging or checking others blogs. I can't believe it's been that long. Anyway I'm back at it. I don't know how well I will do at keeping up this summer since I have two new grandchildren coming this week or next.

This week's theme is stitched ribbons and/or using toppers 
I not sure what exactly a topper is, but I did top my stitched ribbon with some scallop punches. I used stickles (you can't really see in the pic) around the edges of the toppers and along the side edge of the card that I boarder punched then added an extra piece of cardstock that was also boarder punched to get a double edge.
I know my color scheme of turquoise and brown isn't exactly Christmas colors, but there were scraps laying out from a Birthday banner I had just made and I thought that using some gold inking along the side and gold alpha stickers then adding the gold ribbon with some blue ribbon stitched in brown tied it all together and made it more Christmasy.
