Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day here in the US, so we're all in the middle of food preparations for the feast. It'll be relatively quiet in our home because all of our family members on both sides of the family are headed out-of-town for the weekend and we're on our own this year for the first time in many years. But we're doggie-sitting our son's black lab/pit bull Izzy, so maybe it won't be completely quiet!
I spent a little time this morning in my craft room and the result is a very simple card designed for the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches #513 - a Sketch by Jen B.
When I say simple, I really mean it! I glued a 3/4" strip of blue-gray scrap paper to a 4" x 5-1/4" white card stock and die-cut a snowflake from it. Then I stamped the sentiment from Penny Black's "Merry Up" with Ranger Distress Ink "Stormy Sky" and mounted it to a card base with dimensional foam. I slipped a small piece of paper under the strip on the face and glued the center star in place with dimensional foam. I added 3 tiny clear gems and lined an envelope with the last of the scraps - finished.
