Magazine Monday's week 125

Hello there!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

We spent time with family and then went shopping.

Today we are smoking our turkey.  It is almost done!!!  Yay.

It has been a while since I have posted.  Life has been crazy and crafting has taken a back seat.   I also spent a few weeks making holiday cards for the Caring Hearts card drive.    

Now it is time to make Holiday cards for me.   

Today I am using the Magazine Monday challenge from 

The Paper Crafter's Corner blog for my inspiration.

What a fun holiday magazine cover.  I love all of the circles that make the tree.   

That is what I used as my inspiration.  

I love love the splotchy background but it is a little dark for me.  

For my card I used sup some scrap paper to cut my circles and then arranged them to make a tree.  this is a great way to use op some of those scraps that I hate throwing away.   I

 make the background using a sponge and distress ink.  

I went with the brighter blue because I really wanted the tree to stand out.  

thanks for stopping by.... 

I will be entering this project in the following challenges:
