Keeping It Simple

Both of these Christmas cards were made from papers that had large images on them. Often you will get a few like these in any 12x12 paper pad. They are clearly meant for use as a full page but since I don't scrapbook I usually try to trim those pages in ways that will allow me to use the area that contains the images as a card front. 

In both of these cases I added a background layer (or two), a sentiment and a piece of ribbon. There is no stamping other than the sentiments and both cards were simple to do... I let the paper do all of the work for me!
