Simple Card

After spending 8 hours colouring, I really wanted to make a card...no really, I spent most of my crop time last weekend just colouring.  Anyway, I managed to locate the Get Sketchy sketch this week and went to work.  My card also qualifies for Crazy for Challenges as a Christmas card.  It's funny, now that I am making my own card, I find that I make a lot that are not religion specific, even though we celebrate Christmas in a religious way.  Strange.

As I was thinking about this post, and what I would say, I realized that this is a global card.  The black and white paper is SEI and was purchased from i {heart} papers from my friend Kate.  The blue paper came from CTMH via BananaStamper.  The Nestabilities were purchased from The Paperworks Co and the Sentiment is Amy R Sentiments via The Scrapbooking Cottage.  The snowflake punch was a brand new purchase for this weekend from my local Michael's store.  The little blue jewel was swiped from my table-mates stash while she was out watching her daughter play hockey (oops, I forgot to tell you about that!).

I'm not sure what all this means...but I know that I have some great friends who own great stores!

Get Sketchy #26

My friends and I are just getting to the age where we can legitimately start joking about age when birthday's roll around, so I whipped up this card to have in my stash.  The layout is from Get Sketchy, a sketch blog that I've looked at a lot but never taken the opportunity to play.  This sketch was just too inviting not to create something.

The little girl is from the new CC Designs Spring Kit I got over at All That Scraps.  I paper pieced her little outfit and then coloured her wings and laid on the stickles.  They are much shinier in person.  The sentiment is from a new Sentiment set that I picked up on my trip at the beginning of the month.  It's from Kraftin' Kimmie..and I have to say that I checked out her website and her sentiment stamps are just adorable...I can see buying more of these!

On a non-papercrafting note...I just have to do the last few rows of my next hat and then sew up the back and I'll have the little one model it for you...I'm thinking you'll see pictures on Thursday!
