CardzTV Challenge # 5: Color My Christmas

Hello crafters! Time for another awesome challenge for CardzTV! This week's challenge is to create a Christmas card using the colors, red, green, white and pink only. For my card, I used the Cricut cartridge Jolly Holidays to make these cute gingerbread boy and girl. (I just got this awesome cartridge on Ebay after waiting and wanting this for quite some time now!) My patterned paper is from Taylored Expressions' "Gingerbread Lane" 6x6 paper pack, card stock and embellishments from Michaels' Recollections brand. The sentiments are from the CardzTV stamp set, "Home For Christmas" and "Very Merry". One of my favorite Christmas cookies to bake are gingerbread men and well, I love everything gingerbread at Christmas time!
