Christmas Leftovers

     We all have Christmas leftovers, some from the meal we shared, some from the decorating, and some that are still around simply because we haven't recovered adequately after the festivities to take care of them properly.  But I have a great idea.  What if we just made all the leftovers (candy canes, fruitcake, ornaments on the floor because the feline fur babies took them down...) the property (and responsibility) of the elves?  Problem solved!  lol


I decided on bold and bright traditional Christmas colors 
so I could play along in the Color Dare challenge.

     This cute image is from the Progressive challenge at Limited Runs and I used ProMarkers to color it.  I cut it with a scalloped die from Memory Box.  I printed the sentiment and cut it by hand.  I added the red, polka dot ribbon and the white bow with a pearl but left it rather CAS.

     Challenges:
A Gem of a Challenge
Butterfly
Cardz TV
Crafter's Castle
Crafty Hazelnut's
Cupcake Inspirations

Double Trouble
Hiding in My Craft Room
Outlawz Festive Fri
Paper Girls

     BTW, if you need a suggestion, I'm sending all our Christmas leftovers home with the Elf on the Shelf!  :-D  Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

He certainly looks a very useful elf. Can't send my Elf back unfortunately as Santa has sent him to me to live permanently with me as he got kicked out of the North Pole!! Thankyou for coming and spinning the fairy wheel with me this week. Hugs Mrs A.

Nana, did you forget us at Double Trouble...this card is so meeting the 3-2-1 recipe and the "something from the kitchen", and of course you certainly did use the Color Dare's "Bold and Bright"...please share with us. Adorable and fun card and like your post on left-overs.
