Christmas Tree - AHSC 341

Hello! Today I bring you my project for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. Each week we bring you a new sketch to inspire and help get those creative juices going! 

Here is what I came up with. I did alter the sketch a bit as the base of my tree was to wide for me to add a sentiment and well, the sentiment is in the tree so I added a bit of twine to the bottom of the card for the visual element of the sentiment. 

Products used:

Paper:

- City Sidewalks (retired)

- Willow and White Daisy card stock

Ink:

- Willow and Espresso

Stamp:

- B1693E Christmas Words Tree

Merry Everything - AHSC 339

Hello! Today I bring you the first of my Christmas cards...I am sorry! If you are like me and a fan or the warmer weather and this is a reminder of what is to come (cold, snow, and ice for me) I am sorry. I hate the feeling of skipping ahead of Fall and jumping into Christmas but I have a workshop to plan for so here goes the first of a lot of Christmas cards over the coming weeks. 

I am hosting a card buffet and my goal is to have 20 different cards so you will see a mix of retired and new products all together as I use up supplies and try to come up with 20 new and different cards. 

One product you will see a lot of is the little elf below. OMG how cute is he? The second I saw him in our idea book I knew he was a must have. He is followed closely by the nutcracker who will debut soon I am sure. I am so in love with all of the holiday stuff in our idea book and I bought way to much (as I always do!)
