Hello hello, how about starting this Monday right with a bit of inspiration x 9? Well, so be it! This month's Happy Scrappy Friends blog hop is about using your leftover Christmas stash in a non-Christmassy way.

I don't own a lot of Christmas stuff except for a few stamp sets and patterned paper. One of my all time favorite Christmas product lines is the Sligh Ride collection by Crate Paper, which is where the patterned paper for my card came from.

It's a beautiful paper, back and front, so I used both here and added a kraft color flower and a bit of washi tape from my last Studio Calico kit to give it more of a non-Christmas/non-winter look. Very simple!
