Theme - Add Ribbon

Sponsored by Miss Daisy Stamps

I used the image Christmas Surprise which can be found HERE
in the Miss Daisy Stamps shop.

I loved this little image and was originally thinking about creating a Christmas Tag with it but decided to make a card instead so I could use some of my cute ribbon (purchased on sale at Michael's awhile back)  Check out the great patterns on this ribbon.  I couldn't use just one or two pieces, so decided to add several of the pieces to the side of the image.
