An Ornament Shaped Card with a bonus...or two!

Yup, the two little bonuses are my 7 year-old twins.  This picture was taken on Thanksgiving Day...they were very (extremely, really!) happy to spend the day at their grandparents' house.  Nothing like a bit (a LOT, really!) of spoiling!  It didn't matter to them that dinner came with a boat load of vegetables...they were hanging out with their Nana...and nothing beats that! :-)  We're going to send this ornament card to Nana and Papa to thank them for a wonderful Thanksgiving and for inviting the twins to stay over for a few days by themselves to help decorate for Christmas.  I hear there was lots (tons, really! he he he) of chocolate involved!  ;-)


Recipe
Ornaments - from A Child's Year, welded to make the card
Circles - from George & Basic shapes
Patterned paper - DCWV Holiday stack
Cardstock - DCWV Textured Brights
Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder
Ribbon, button - from stash
Silver cord for hanging - Michael's
Pop dots

I'm entering this ornament card into a few challenges:
Always Crafting: Whimsical Wednesday Challenge with Jess - anything goes!
Cooking With Cricut: Challenge #7 - any project that has to do with decking your halls or commemorating the look of the season.
Fantabulous Cricut: Challenge Me Monday #38 - Ribbon Challenge - use ribbon somewhere on your Cricut project.
Getting Cricky with K. Andrew: Simply Charming Cricut Challenge -  anything goes as long as it's charming and cute.
More Than Favors: Wacky Wednesday #17 - anything Christmas-themed, include some embossing.

Have a great weekend!
