CTS #55

Good morning! I'm sitting at my computer across from my mom, enjoying a cup of coffee, and just "being" in NY with my family. It is SO nice to get to chit chat in person, even if we do a pretty bang up job over Skype each morning. :) My boys have been having a blast with grandma and grandpa. It's SO fun to see them all together and join in when hilarity ensues. Many fun times and fun memories!

I'm super excited to bring you today's CAS(E) this Sketch challenge. The sketch is absolutely fab and the design team really knocked it out of the park. This challenge is extra long due to the US Thanksgiving holiday and I hope to see even more amazing cards than normal!  My mom and I are planning to get crafty a little today and you can guarantee I'll be playing with this sketch again!  Check it out:


I did a little masking for the sketch this week.  I created my sentiment rectangle by outlining the space with post it notes and then stamping my Hero Arts Be Jolly background stamp in Versamark.  This left behind the perfect shape for my card.  A little holly from Lil' Inker Designs and a sentiment from Lawn Fawn and you have a super cute Christmas card...if I do say so myself.  ;)


I hope you will come join us for our two-week challenge over at CAS(E) this Sketch.  We'd LOVE to have you!  Have a great day!
