The challenge over at JUGS#5 this week is to make a holiday card with a photo. I've been trying to come up with a design for a Christmas card for a friend, using a photo of the beautiful gate to her home. This is one of the samples I made, and since it fits perfectly with today's challenge, I thought I'd post it. I embossed the sentiment at the top of the picture with gold ep and also embossed the gold scalloped circle, along with the tiny house image inside. The stamps are from PTI. The ribbon is from Michaels and I used Hunter Green and Really Red on this one.Thanks for the great challenge ladies........and if you have time, click the JUGS link above for the details to this challenge. They're giving away freebies just for playing along before the deadline:)
Enjoy a Happy Haunting Halloween Everybody!!

ETA: For those wondering how I embossed on the photo without melting it - I printed the photo on regular paper, not photo paper.

What an awesome idea for a Christmas Card! I love how you embossed the sentiment at the top and added the round tag at the bottom. Just perfect! How did you do the top one with out melting the photo?? :) Love the picture of her gate as the main image also...reminds me of the Hawaiian Christmas I so enjoyed when I lived there.
