An ugly sweater of a card.

Hi friends!

This post kicks off October's edition of lawn fawn inspiration week for me.  Today, we're showcasing lawn cut dies for older essentials: winter bunny, making frosty friends, and winter owl.

My offering is completely tongue in cheek:

ugly sweater card.

Pattern overload, and oversized images... it's so ugly it's cute.  I've always wanted to convince my family to do an ugly sweater party for Christmas, but we're too immigrant for that... my parents always gave me raised eyebrows and changed the subject.  I wonder if we'd even find very many kitchy sweaters at our local thrift stores... stay tuned *wink*

ugly sweater card.

My favorite part is the candy cane in frosty's twiggy hand.  Let's pretend I'm a knitter who decided that the stripes of the candy cane would be a nice compliment to the the sweater's trim... ha.

Click over to the lawn fawn blog for more inspiration!

    This cracks me up. Not because it's ugly, it's very cute as a card, but my mom has a lot of ugly holiday sweaters....getting to be that time of year too...

    Oh, this is a hoot and would be the perfect invitation for an ugly sweater party! Everyone has to attend at least one party, hope your family caves and lets you have yours.
