Merry Christmas to You (Again)

This card is for two challenges.  The weekly Card Patterns sketch challenge:
http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/2010/07/sketch-72.html

 
and The Shabby Tea Room challenge:
http://theshabbytearoom.blogspot.com/2010/07/week-18-christmas-in-july.html
Their theme this week is "Christmas in July."  I guess I am not alone!



Not a lot of stamping here, but a whole lot of paper piecing!  I used scraps and one Hero Arts stamp, Merry Christmas to You.  Added ribbon, button and pearl.  Also machine sewing.
