Create Along with Us September

Here is my first Christmas card of 2018. My favorite cards to make kicked off by Papertrey Ink Create Along with Us. Check out all the details HERE
I chose to use Betsy Veldman's cute little winter scene card as my inspiration. I used SU embossing folders for the snow, the woodgrain frame and a SU Woodgrain stamp that I used to look like Santa's in front of his winter woodpile. He's taken a few slices out to carry his greetings. Santa and holly/berry are from Believe retired PTI set. Sentiments are from PTI Tree Trimming Trio. Paper on aqua tree is from PTI Bitty Star Basics.
This is Betsy's card

And here is the one I made.
