PS This card received an Honorable Mention over at 613 Avenue Create! Thank you so much - it is my honor to be among so many talented card makers!!!
Hi, There!I am excited to share this trifold card with you today as I broke down and used some paper that I have been hoarding for a year now!! I am very stingy when it comes to using my Graphic 45 papers for any card design. But for this one, I went all out. I am going to send this card creation to my daughter for Christmas. The Nutcracker Sweet was one of her very favorites during the holiday season. Thanks so much for visiting me today and I hope you enjoyed your weekend and found time to do something creative too! Till next time, Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

Inside:
The Grandfather Clock was fussy cut so I would have a 3-D effect on that side of the card. Center of the card I put a pocket so you can take out the card and write a note.
Ribbon to keep card closed is from my stash tied thru the lock tag from the Collection!
The key is inside;)
CaroleAnn, this is absolutely stunning! Your have just an astonishing eye for composition and color and your execution is immaculate! Nothing is ever overdone or understated. None of your components ever look forced nor do they lack purpose. Each in it's own way contributes to the beauty and elegance of the design. You are talented! Thanks for leaving this propped against our front door here at 613 Avenue Create. It was a delightful find!
