Trying to Win the Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest

I had fun with this one, Trying to Win the Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest. It started with this month’s Embossing Folder Club, the lovely Checkered Argyle, which is quite conservative and lovely. Then I decided our little Festive Friends needed to be included (Small Die of the Month Club), and after I got his sweater all argyled to match the background, I thought, “Ugly Christmas Sweater.” So I grabbed the reindeer dies from the Large Die of the Month Club, Cozy Toes Slippers.
