Saturday Sketch Challenge 1/23

My card for today's Sketch Challenge is a CASE of a card that Susan Kubira sent to my sister. My sister is suffering from a form of Psoriasis that has covered 95% of her body and not only makes her look like a burn victim but now has compromised her immune system. She is doing well but is on "House arrest" so she doesn't get an infection from anyone.

You can see the sketch here Be sure to follow the links to see what the rest of the design team has done!!!!

Supplies:

Set: Teeny Tiny Wishes
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Pretty in Pink, Sending Love Specialty Designer Series Paper
Ink: Basic Brown
Accessories: Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit, Heart to Heart Punch, Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch

This project is one we did today that I also wanted to share with you. I got the idea for the box on the left from Jackie Topa It's made from our Movers and Shapers Die! It is so adorable. At my stamp camps sometimes a customer doesn't want a 3D item so she'll make it a different way. Today, LindaB did that and came up with the card on the right. Isn't it great?????

Supplies:

Cardstock: Pretty in Pin, Sending Love Specialty Designer Paper, Very Vanilla

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Movers and Shapers Big Shot Die, Eyelet Border Punch, Crimper, Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon

Have an awesome weekend!!!

Oh what a wonderful WHITE CHRISTMAS we had!!!! The first real one I have ever seen in Texas and only the second in my life! We've had snow flurries and dusting but never anything like this. We even built a Snowman in our front yard. It was a really fun day with family in and out of the house. So, my card is a tribute to our Snow Day! You can see the sketch over and UDI and check out what the rest of the Design Team has done. Our Surprise for this sketch was to use our favorite colors.

I hope you all have a wonderful week and an awesome Christmas Day. I know that many of us are short on funds but last night at our Choir Christmas Party one of our members did a recital of Dr. Suess' "The Grinch" and it reminded me that we must all be like the Who's in Whoville and keep Christmas in our hearts no matter if there are presents under the tree or even Christmas Decorations. Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas!!! See you next week!
