Thankful thoughts
This is my first creation after the holidays, as I returned on Wednesday night from York and was sick, yesterday I did nothing but SLEEP. And this is my first creation with the set I got for Xmas from my mother and father in law. I got like 5 sets ( 4 from them and 1 from Sean) and 3 packs of cardstock, and 4 books about paper crafting. This set was in my stocking, I guess I was nice the past year :P
Supplies used:
Stamp sets: Thoroughly thankful
Ink pads: Jet Black Staz-on, basic black, for watercoloring I used: pumpkin pie, old olive, soft sky, summer sun, close to cocoa and chocolate chip
Cardstock: soft sky, whisper white, old olive and pumpkin pie
pumpkin pie 1/4" grosgrain ribbon
crystal effects

Gentle thoughts
Simply Said
I decided to make a card out of this sketch (callenge) and here are the results:
The cloudy weather outside kinda played in the light of the picture, it's lighter in real life. I used:
stamps: Simply Said
Inks and markers: always artichoke,pale plum, lavander lace, pretty in pink, blush blossom, mellow moss
cardstock: always artichoke, very vanilla, pale plum, mellow moss, lavander lace

Now I need to go do some Christmas cards writing, that's the hardest part of the Christmas cards, I will make them and all, but I like to procrastinate when it comes to writing them.
