Santa's Helper

Happy Sunday my friends.  I hope you've had an enjoyable weekend.  I always do when it includes play time in my stamp room.

I did take some time out yesterday to go to the theater with my daughter and her family to see Wicked!  I know, I know, everyone else has seen it already.  I think I must be the last person in the US that has gotten to see it.  We all thoroughly enjoyed it.  I was trying sometimes to figure out which was the Good witch and which one was Wicked.  ;)  After the show we went to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner and that was soooooo yummy!  I had their grilled salmon and it was very tasty.  Filled me up so there was no room for dessert.  Boo hoo!

Well, enough about that, time to get to my card.  This is another Christmas card.  I do have a lot of these to make, so there will be more of them in the weeks and months to come.  I used a My Favorite Things sketch for my layout even though it is an old one. I'm trying to catch up for this year with all the Wednesday Sketch challenges.
Since it's a Christmas card, this time I did use the traditional colors for my card.
Recipe:
  • Image - Sassy Studio Designes - Santa's Helper
  • Sentiment - Computer generated printed in gold
  • Cardstock - Xpress It Blending Card; Stampin Up Real Red and Old Olive; Shimmery cardstock, but I can't recall where I bought it from and the package is not marked
  • Designer Paper - Stampin Up Candlelight Christmas
  • Accessories - Classic Oval Die; Lacy Rectangle Die; Pennents and Flags Die; Memory Box Honeysuckle Border Die; Stickles - Yellow; Liquid Pearls - Yellow and White Opal; Red Sparkle Twin
  • Copic Markers - B0000; E40, E41; E50, E51, E53; R24, R37, R46; G14, G21, G24; Y06, Y15, Y23
