Retired 4 Challenge Christmas fun

 
I thought I was had enough Christmas cards, but counted again today and am still way short.  I decided to dig out some of my favorite retired SU! images to play with some challenges.
 
The Dasher card is for the layout from RetroSketches.  The sentiment is from Lots of Thoughts.
The colors are from Paper Players - Cherry Cobbler, Pool Party and neutral (sahara sand & choc chip)

 
On this card I used the Snowboarder image (cut out and popped up) and the lovely Medallion stamp (embossed in white) and Many Merry Messages.  I really like this card and don't think the photo really shows it off very well.
 
The colors are from Fab Friday - pool party, gumball green, primrose petals, real red, white
The layout is from Clean & Simple Stamping - fall-to-layout #220.

    Dasher looks fabulous in Choc Chip with the Crumb Cake background, Trish! Love your combination of print & texture, & the multicoloured sentiment looks great too. Thanks for playing along with The Paper Players. :)

    These are great! It's fun to pull out the retired sets and play with them. The snowboarder is a great image for a Christmas card and I wouldn't have thought to use it that way. Very creative! Thanks for playing at Fab Friday!
