For this hop, I decided to make a "Theater Card" that I found on Pinterst some time ago and haven't had a chance to make it.  When I saw the "Deck the Palms" paper pack I knew it would be perfect!  The complete instructions including links to the measurements and a tutorial video can be found on Sara Levin's blog.   card measurements

Originally I imagined a Christmas tree in the background with presents upfront, then life happened and I needed to use the quick version of Deck the Palms = stickers! to complete a card for this blog. Later as life calmed down, I was able to complete my original tree/gifts Christmas card.
