Who Needs Chestnuts?

Good Saturday morning friends! It is a busy day here on my blog.  Not only is it Sweet Stop Sketch day but it is a new release day for Clear Dollar Stamps (posted at 8 a.m. so stop by or scroll up!).

Today we have a fun sketch with a spin (and a prize...$10 to spend on anything in the SNSS store!  Woot!) ...Let's Recycle.  While I didn't really recycle anything I did use some embellies that I've had for quite some time which are the ornaments and holly.  I think they make for a fun little extra on the card. The image that I have used is from Doodle Pantry and is called Candy Cane Ants.  Isn't that sentiment just so cute?  I agree...who needs chestnuts?  I LOVE candy canes!  The paper is from a paper pack that I got from my friend Debby for my birthday called Season's Greetings by Echo Park.  I used a few pearls and some gel pen to finish it off.


Now, make sure you head on over to my design team sister's blogs to see their fabulous cards and leave them some love, k?


Have a wonderful day everyone!
