Who doesn't love freebies.....

I do.... And I often get freebie stamps, dies and embossing folders when I buy a magazine.    Today I am sharing the card I made for my team to sign and give to our team leader.  This will be the last Christmas we are all together as a Team as there are changes a foot in our office.  A huge restructure is underway and it seems that our teams (currently 3) will be combined into two and have some newbies as well.  

Anyhoo.... here is what I made using two different freebies from different magazines

The embossing folder was a freebie last Christmas and the holly vine die from last month.  I cut three of the vines and made a bit of a circle wreath   I embossed the background on the cream card and again on a scrap of red so I could fussy cut out the bow.   The sentiment banner was embossed with some Rose Gold powder from Altenew.  The stamp was one I picked up for $4 when I was in Australia in October.   I popped it up with some foam tape.   The main panel is also popped up on foam tape with some washi tape underneath.

I'm entering this into the Pop It Up challenge at A2Z Scrapbooking. 

I hope your Christmas preparations are going well.  I'm counting down the days till Friday, when my little grandson arrives with his parents.  They are getting in at 6.00am so hubby will go collect them, while I prepare the breakfast.   Friday is also my hubby's last day at work.  He has resigned and is taking a couple of months off before he looks for something else to do.    No more corporate world for him.  Things will be tight for a while, so I've been getting as many supplies as I can while I can afford it.   

Have a great Christmas
