Christmas Thank Yous--Part 1

I finally have my Christmas thank you notes completed--phew! It took forever to get them done, and I didn't even go too crazy with them. I made 16 of them (lots of thanks, I guess), 4 of 4 different designs. I was looking for inspiration after Christmas.....kinda lost the mojo after taking the week off to design the room...and I came across the Skipping Stones Designs sketches. They sell stamps, and also have a sketch challenge on their blog as well. This was one of their more recent sketches, then I went back in their archives and copied out a whole bunch of other sketches, a few of which I've already put to good use. Back at Halloween time I made all my cards using one pack of Echo Park paper, and I am doing the same thing for my Valentines, and my thank you notes for Christmas too. I have the Winter Park scrap kit and just love the colors in there! So I cut some strips, and used this roll of denim ribbon from SU that I totally forgot that I had. The border comes from a Tim Holtz die that I forgot I had a while ago and I really need to use it more. Like the whimsy. A thank you stamp from PTI's Inside and Out: Thank You set and embossing with their snowflake impression plate (heart that!) and it was all done. Stop by tomorrow for another installment of thank you notes....thanks for stopping by!
