Time for Holiday Thank You Cards!

Stamps: Papertrey ' Signature Christmas'. Cardstock: Basic Grey 'Figgy Pudding Glacier', white textured, Baja Breeze. Ink: Baja Breeze. Accessories: Baja Breeze dotted grosgrain ribbon, Marcella K 'Christmas Snowflake' page accents, Stardust glitter pen.

Now that the Christmas greeting card rush is over, it's time to start sending out the thank you cards! My goal is to have them finished by the 31st, so I can start the New Year with a clean slate.

Sparkle (Sparkle's Creations) is already into her fourth week of 2010 Christmas Card Challenges; now that's what I call motivated! I knew this challenge would be a great incentive to stock up on not only Christmas cards, but also holiday thank yous which always seem to be in short supply. Sparkle's inspiration photo is a yummy chocolate cupcake; I went with its white and aqua color combo and white chocoloate snowflake decorations as my inspiration.

The sketch for this card is Fall-To sketch #55, another example of Clean & Simple Stamping's wonderful design.
