supplies: red and kraft cardstock, My Mind's Eye "Funday" design paper, old book page, Fiskar's top notch border punch, Hero Arts H5244 Winter Tree, Versafine onyx black ink and clear embossing powder, CL343 Holiday Sayings, stamped in VersaMark and embossed in Ranger Super Fine Detail Silver, Nesties ovals and scalloped ovals dies, Memory Box tiny red pearls, natural twine, wood star wrapped in aluminum foil
