Gingham Toby:

Good morning all.  I have a rather simple card to share with you.  Hmmm... still took me a few hours though.  I thought after years of practice that one could get better and faster - certainly not the case for me :)

I love gingham almost as much as I love polka dots.  I surrounded freebie Toby (link found on my side bar) in lots of sparkle, gingham, and buttons - the perfect Christmas combo!

Card Ingredients:  StampFairy digi, DCWV papers, Recollections cardstock, Prismacolor pencils (fur - Chocolate, Dark Brown, Dark Umber;  cheeks - Magenta, Crimson Red;  ears - Magenta, Crimson Red), Recollections wood grain stamp, Recollections Chocolate Brown ink and Breeze chalk ink, Studio G sentiment stamp, Gelly Roll white pen, Martha Stewart Mica tinsel glitter, Dress It Up buttons, Martha Stewart bakers twine, Wilson's doily.  Tools:  sewing machine, C.C. Designs Fence and Cloud dies.

I made Toby for the following challenges:  Crimbo Crackers - Christmas animals, CSAYL - choose a sketch and make it Christmas, Stampin' Sisters in Christ - sparkle, Crafter's Companion - Christmas,  Sweet Sketch Wednesday - sketch:


As always, today is StampFairy's New Release Friday.  

Well I think that's it for today - have a wonderful weekend!!!

Hi girlfriend I was thinking about you the other day whilst I was up the mountain and the boys were skiing is was cold about -5c and then I thought of you and your cold winters. That temperature is a bit like spring for you LOL. Love your card, I too adore gingham on cards I just don't know why I think it looks clean and fresh. I know what your mean about how long it takes to make a simple card that happened to me yesterday. Love your card and this very cute image which I must grab. Awesome job and thanks so much for sharing your card with us at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and good luck.

Hugs

I'm with you on the gingham and polka dots Deanne! Both are such cheerful patterns and the gingham is just that on this card. What a cute card, especially with all that glitter and sparkle. Always good to see you back here at SSW! Thanks for playing along again!
