pudding by papertrey ink for the orchid that was listed i had to struggle a bit with these colors as they are not ones i d usually reach for i used a fun cheer leader stamp from the h m stamp set called a girls obsession that i framed with 3 pieces cut with my spellbinders label one i punched the stars out of so saffron card stock and put a little bit of gold stickles on them for some shimmer

dimensionals ribbon berry sorbet saddle stitched pti spellbinders labels one i bought my dear husband tickets to a boston celtics basketball game for christmas and wanted to make a card to give them to him in so today s sketch challenge on split coast gave me the design for my card there is no stamping on this just stickers and cuttlebuging i used the spiderweb folder on the metallic green back ground panel to loosely represent the lines in the basketball and the mesh folder on the two panels for the texture of the ball i found the celtic logo on line and printed it on card stock the basketball is a foam sticky stamps none paper white pti more mustard su metallic foil board grafix ink more mustard su accessories basketball word stickers paper house michaels sponge foam dimensionals spider web and mesh cuttlebug folders celtics logo from website foam basketball michaels and here is the most delightful card i just received from my scs buddy cindy mothermark she is truly a paper artist very often not using stamps on her cards at all inside she wrote her own little poem about the economy being so bad and postage so costly and how she decided making a card with no ribbons brads or bows but just santa inverted in the chimney and showing his toes would be the cost saving answer it s a super funny rhyming ditty but i felt i shouldn t write out the whole thing it being her own creation etc and one final picture of our christmas tree this year it s an artificial one but i think it looks very real it s new this year after always having a real tree and hating fake trees the cost of the real ones and the fact that they usually don t even have the wonderful pine smell anymore since they are cut so long before we purchase them i finally succumed and bought this and i love it and if i light my yankee pine candle you d swear it was real i keep telling dh don t forget to water the tree lol my kitty scout loves to sit under the tree and you can see how much

some sympathy and some birthday she is elderly and can t always get out and so she likes to have cards on hand for when she needs them of course i couldn t just give him a pile of cards so i made these pretty folders for them and even made a coordinating pen by slipping a piece of matching designer paper inside the pen barrel this works great with the pentel rsvp pens found at staples or cvs i got the free template for these folders from mirkwood designs this is how the inside looks each side holds 2 cards and 2 envelopes and finally i just have to share these wonderful christmas cards i
