Happy Memorial Day weekend!!!! Although this weekend will be filled with BBQs, pool parties and celebrations, I must not forget the reason for this holiday. We give thanks and remember those men and women in the military who paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms.
I kick off every weekend with my Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge card. What's a better way to celebrate Memorial Day than with a.......Christmas card? Yup, you're pretty much thinking I fell off the deep end. But, as soon as I saw this sketch, a vision of this card popped into my head!!!!
Here is this week's sketch:
and here is this week's card.......
I played with some new goodies and some old favorites while making this card.
The dsp is a sneak peek from the new catalog. It's called Be of Good Cheer, and all of the patterns have wonderful Christmas themes. The colors are Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green and Very Vanilla.
See how crisp and clear my ornament is? That's because I used my new Basic Black ink pad. The firm foam design allows me to stamp solid images without any bald spots. Love that!
I'll leave you with the card recipe in case you want to make this card. Hey, it's never too early to start your holiday cards!!!!
I wish each of you a safe and wonderful holiday weekend!!!!
