Under the Tree
Sweet Sketch 77


Well, it is Thanksgiving Eve and I just want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!  What a wonderful time to share and enjoy family.  Lots of preparations for me today.  I will me making apple pie, homemade rolls, cranberry sauce, cleaning the turkey and preparing the stuffing.  One year I bought Costco rolls and my family was so mad at me.  I just didn't know that it was a tradition!  We like pumpkin pie but they also prefer my apple pie over any pie. So that is a must too!  My daughter in law has a tradition of eating Chocolate Mousse Pie on Thanksgiving so she will bring the Chocolate Mousse. 
 Hope you have a delicious celebrations with your family!.
This is the fabulous sketch that my sister, Arlana, has for you this week at SSW!  I love the clean lines of this sketch and how it draws your eye to the focal point of your image!  I do hope you will take a few moments and look at what our DT has created for you this week at  SSW!

Bugaboo Stamps is our incredible sponsor this week!  I always have so much fun choosing a image from Jodie's store.  I love her style and the fun creations that she comes up with which are constantly being added to each month.  Jodie, the owner, at Bugaboo is offering
7 digi stamps valued at $21
to our Grand Prize Weekly Winner

The image I chose is called
A Kids View Under the Tree.




The one thing I want to share about my card is the embossing folder that I borrowed from Arlana.  It is called Cuttlebug Sledding.  I just love the look it gave.  If you will notice...the embossing is reversed.  Instead of being raised it is indented!  I just love the texture it gives.  I have looked at every craft store I have visited in the last two months...with no luck in finding it.  I will have to check the internet when I find a spare moment.  For my Christmas bulbs I used the Metal Dots...also one of my favorite embellishments!  The picture doesn't show it very well, but I also used puffy for his Santa Hat. Of course, the little star and button are from Arlana's Crafty Stash!

  2. Judi, I wondered if that was an embossing folder. I love it! I will be on the look out for it down here. Doesn't Arlana have lots of fun little treasures..and your card is adorable. You made me smile when you talked about the rolls. Scott was making sure I was making all the traditional things too. I have a busy day ahead of me.. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.

  3. I'm coming to your house tomorrow for sure Judi!!! And I'll bring my embossing folder with me...email me your address and I'll mail it to you. It's not my fave so I don't use it. Your card is adorable. Is he putting that present under the tree or snitching it out from under for himself?! Anyway, it's super sweet. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
