Happy Thanksgiving.  You may be wondering why the Merry Christmas card on Thanksgiving.  It’s all the fault of the PPA229 Sketch Challenge.  Even thought I tried to see Thanksgiving in this sketch, I just couldn’t. What I DID see was a snowball fight.

Snowball fights, such good memories.  They rank right up there with Snow Angels.  Growing up in the northern Sacramento Valley, we had to travel to the snow but it was worth every mile.

The circles were cut using various circle punches and All is Calm Designer Series Paper (#135823).  After adhering them to Whisper White Cardstock the piece was embossed using a Big Shot (#113439) and Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#133520).  After that, the piece was matted with pieces of Soft Sky and Lost Lagoon cardstock before adhering it to the Whisper White card base.

The stamp set, Christmas Bliss (#138897) is my favorite holiday stamp set this year.  Graphics are combined with many of the sentiments to make this a unique set.

Christmas Bliss Stamp Set #138897

If you haven’t seen this set before there’s a very good reason.  It’s an online only item.

Here’s another sample created with the Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit (#134998) showing an alternate idea for the kit.

When first using kits I felt confined.  However, with a little attitude adjustment, I quickly learned that kits save time and give lots of room for creativity.  I love the whimscal look of this card.

Well, it’s time to put the finishing touches on my turkey before cooking. Pumpkin pie and most of the trimmings are done.  Just one more thing to say,

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.Hope you’re surrounded with the warmth of friends and loved ones.
