Noel Card
If your familiar with Tim Holtz. He has a 12 tags of Christmas special on his blog every year. He encourges everyone to try to make them too. So, I decided instead of a tag I would make a card. This is what I came up with for a card using his 1st tag of Christmas as a guide.
Here's what I used:
I bought Tim Holtz alterations pinecone die.
The foilage and holly I got from the Cricut Cartridge Christmas (Christmas Noel)
Foilage cut at 2.847 height. The foilage with the berries was cut at 2.861 Height
The holly 3.583 height was also welded to the Noel. It is 2 holly branches weled together.
The card base I printed on the Imagine and used Christmas Wish Imagine Cartridge.
The Noel was welded together using the Black Letter Cartridge.
Santa and his sleigh is from Cricut Imagine Santa's Village cartridge.
The music paper was from Vintage Papers Imagine Cartridge.
I just hand cut a banner and folded it.
I would have loved to get all of Tim's alterations dies for this but I just cannot afford them.
So I got creative with my Cricuts and came up with these alternative cuts.

Oh, Mary, this card is just absolutely beautiful! I love Tim Holtz and if he sees this card you'd know you did him proud on this one!
Hope you and yours enjoyed a wonderful and blessed holiday, my beautiful friend, with many more blessing to come!
Hugs, and looking forward to sharing 2012 with you.
For some reason, all I see is a black rectangle with a white oval and a white dash.

I think I have it fixed. I think it was a viewer setting in my picaso web album. I set it to public so everyone should see it now.
Yes! It is fixed and the card is gorgeous! It reminds me of the vintage cards of years past!
