Happy Sunday, everyone! I am back from my vacation and ready to stamp! I missed everyone! I have to admit that I did a whole lot of nothin' while on vacation, so I am happy to get back into my craft room! Nance is our talented hostess today for the Paper Players, and blessedly, she had a wonderful, simple sketch for us!
I had a few new goodies waiting for me when I got home, so I went to work creating a Christmas card:
I used This Christmas specialty paper and the new set, Christmas Pines, along with its companion thinlits die, Pretty Pines. I diecut several pine boughs from Garden Green, a bow from Cherry Cobbler and arranged them under my banner, stamped in Cherry Cobbler as well:
I accented it with a little enamel star, too! And the great thing about these pine boughs is that you can cut them to length!
The inside was stamped with images and a sentiment from the same set:
The design team has some spectacular samples....they covered a wide range of occasions! Check them out here:
And we hope you'll play along! Can't wait to see your creations!
Cassidy starts school tomorrow, sporting a new 'do! Here she is enjoying a word puzzle (just like her grammy!) while waiting for her breakfast at Perkins! Enjoy your day!

Great Christmas card, LeAnne! I love the pine boughs tied up with the cute bow, and one you didn't have to tie no less. :) Cassidy's new hair cute is adorable. She is really concentrating!

Well I definitely liked your card enough to be inspiration my entry in PP310. I really like to look at patterns and created patterns. I have far to go as far as crating new patterns. Superb card!
Maybe my card will upload to SCS tonight or tomorrow to allow me add it to link.

I just love Christmas cards!That pine bough spray is so pretty.Cute lil star on it too. I hope Cassidy has a great school year!
Ok LeAnne, so I love this card! It inspired me to use this paper in my Holly Berry class next week and I might just have to CASE this card for a future stamp-a-stack! Love Cassidy's new hairdo and hope she has had a great start to the school year. I am so envious of her breakfast at Perkins - this is my most favourite place to eat breakfast when I'm Stateside. Oh and pie - Perkins does great pie too!!!
LeAnne, I love this card. The papers, the pine die-cuts. What a great take on the sketch. Love it.
Hugs
