First Christmas card for the year & tictactoe

I've started on the Christmas cards and here's the first one.
The challenge at http://abcchristmaschallenge.blogspot.com.au/ is old and new.

I've had a roll of gold embossed paper for several years so opened it and used it as my background. OLD Next I used a bracket sticker someone gave me last month NEW. In the centre of that I recycled a Christmas card OLD and finally, added some colour to the corner with a red tree. NEW


And over at the Tictactoe challenge



I've gone down the right hand side to make a bon voyage card.
The woodgrain came from a MME Miss Caroline packet of brads(recycling).
I wrapped the washi tape around and the card is square.

Innovative way to upcycle the packaging and turn it into a wonderful bon voyage card. Glad to have you join us at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge this week!
