Each day a member of the Two Scrapbook Friends team and a few special friends will share with you some of the projects and inspiration that they have created to celebrate the Season.  Today is my turn to release a project and I thought I would share with you a Christmas Card I recently made that was published in one of the Cricut Magazines this season!
