Challenge: SUO #33 My Favourite Holiday Colours

Wow, it's been a while since I last entered a challenge! It's so easy to let the Holiday Season take over! I looked back and the last Stampin' Up! Only Challenge I entered was in the fall for "Fall Colours". It's very fitting that the one I am entering now is my favourite holiday colours :) When I think of Christmas I always think of snow and a rich red - of cranberries and cherries and red delicious apples... on pies and yummy Christmas treats. Snow rarely shows up as just white in my mind, there's always that tinge of ice blue. The final colours that join the medley are, of course, green because of the Christmas trees and evergreens in winter and then finally kraft. I love to wrap my gifts in kraft paper with a beautifully colourful ribbon because it always reminds me of the lyrics: "brown paper packages tied up with string, those are a few of my favourite things..." which is one of my favourite Christmas songs! I find Christmas is a mix of subtles and regals for me: Cherry Cobbler, Marina Mist, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi, and Crumb Cake!!
