'Tis the Season

Hello again,

First, can I share something exciting today?  I get to be the guest design team member at Skipping Stones Design for the month of November.  I am over the moon excited and can't wait till tomorrow when I can share my first card for their sketch challenge.

Today, I'm playing along with Retro Sketches (#36).  Here is the sketch:

Here's what I came up with.

The paper is from Teresa Collins (Christmas Cottage), Stamp is from Hampton Art Stamps and one of my all time favorite Christmas images.  I stamped it with Old Olive ink from SU and added some coarse Martha Stewart glitter using Aleene's Paper Glaze to adhere the glitter. Die cut border is from PTI and the sticker sentiment is from SRM, Christmas Stickers by the Dozen.  The embossing folder for the background is Winter Words from Sizzix.

I'm also entering this into the challenge (#15) at A Blog Named Hero, where the challenge is to use a punch or die cut.

Thanks so much for coming by.  See you tomorrow for my first sketch challenge with Skipping Stones Design.
