Pear & Partridge with a little bit of Mojo...

This weeks Mojo Monday Sketch #267 screamed Pear & Partridge to me...

So...while I was off work for Veteran's Day, I started on this card and was able to finish it tonight!

Here's what the sketch looks like...

And....here's what I did with it

----------------------------------------

There's a lot going on so let me explain...I used the November SOTM, Capture the Date, for "December 25" and I used Perfect Fit Frames to go around it.  This stamp set is FULL of cute frames that can be cut using the Cricut Cartridge but I chose to leave it uncut to create a bigger border around it.  The Fleur beside the date, the button on the ribbon and the brads on the inside are all from the Mini-Medley Accents Antiqued Gold Collection.  Love these with this paper packet!

------------------------------------------

I stitched around the edge of the Partridge B&T and used our Color-Ready Seam Binding Ribbon and some Desert Sand reinker to stain it for a more vintage feel.  The bottom sentiment "Christmas is a Time" is part of the border that comes on one edge of CTMH's B&T (you'll see the second part to this sentiment on the inside of the card)...each B&T pattern has a different 12" border that be cut off and used for various embellishments!

----------------------------------------

And here's the inside...notice the "For Sharing" that is a part of the B&T border from the front of the card and the Antiqued Gold Brads...what a perfect ending to such a pretty card! 

Now...I only wish these could be our Christmas Cards this year but I'm afraid that a photo of the 3 boys and their new little sister is a must-have instead.
