First Friday Mashup

I was scouring the web for a sketch challenge because I need more Christmas cards, and I found The Friday Mashup Challenge.  What a great idea!  At first I thought I wouldn't be able to participate in the "mashup," as I'm in the minority, and I actually don't tend to hoard random items for later crafting use.  I'm a tosser for the most part.  I have to be since the hubby likes to keep everything... we only have so much room!  But I found some beautiful golden ribbon hidden away on a shelf that I was happy to be able to use.
I also got to use a stamp that I hadn't inked up yet, an embossing folder that was still in the wrapping, and the newsprint DSP went into the paper cutter for the first time.  All in all, a success, I'd say.  Here's my card:
