Hey there! Hope all is well with you. I'm happy to report that our new stove vent hood project is successfully finished. Otherwise, we are enjoying a tiny little cool front for the next couple of days! 🙌
Speaking of cool fronts, here's another Christmas card I finished, a winter sports theme for one of my nephews who loves skiing and sledding. I dug through my stamps and found a sled, a sledder and a skier to use.
I used this Splitcoaststampers sketch for my layout design, but I flipped it vertically, arranging the 3 image elements on the bottom instead.
The A7 card base is Kraft card with deep blue SU base mats on front and back. On front, I layered on a piece of blue sky stationery paper I found in my scraps stash. I cut a Tim Holtz Treeline Thinlit die from white card and arranged it in the center with a strip of white card for the snowy ground. I stamped a See D's Let It Snow sentiment with Versamark on a strip of the deep blue, then white-heat-embossed it and fussy cut it. Then I used a Spellbinders Label 2 die to cut 3 blue mats for my 3 images stamped in Versamark and white-heat-embossed on Kraft, which I cut with the next smallest Labels die. I colored the images with Promarkers, gel pens and white colored pencil. I used very old Crafty Secrets, See D's and Hero Arts/Basic Grey stamps. I used my little snowflake punch with white card to make some snowflakes as the final touch.
Inside the card (at left) I have stamped Pink Persimmon and Stamplorations sentiments with Majestic Blue Versafine ink. At right is the back of the card with another TH Treeline Thinlit die cut and a stamped and punched siggie.
Here's an overhead shot to show continuity...
And a final view. Thanks for visiting me today and take care out there! XOX

Aimeslee: Another terrific card linked to MTTCC! Thanks for participating in the sled/sleigh theme Christmas card challenge! The flipped sketch layout works well for your elements and the images are perfect to give a modern wintery sports look! FABulous! --Becca/DT
Wintry sporty fun.
Read that you completed a vent hood project. THat is awesome. We recently had our kitchen remodeled. We have new cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling, changed to a workstation sink, changed from electric cooktop to a gas cooktop, kept the vent hood but it moved down a bit, moved the double oven to opposite wall, moved microwave to a shelf where the double oven moved from and moved the refrig down the wall. Have more counter space and luv it all. Hubby did the wallpapering & backsplash.
