Finally arrived in Texas late last night. I’m staying with Jeanne S for the next couple of weeks and hope to meet some of my Texas buds while I’m here. We had a great time last week in Jeffersonville and plan to get some projects done while I’m here in Texas. I know that I will be going bowling with Jeanne on Friday and then I get to attend one of her workshops on Saturday!
I’ve struggled with getting an internet connection and luckily Jeanne has an extra desktop in the stamping room (which is huge by the way) and I’m bouncing around from computer to computer. But oh my gosh, the toys she has to play with – if I spent a month here, I don’t think I would see everything!
Anyway, after fiddling with the laptop all morning long trying to get a connection, I eventually gave up and headed down to the stamp room to look at the Splitcoast Sketch Challenge today. This is a simple card for me, no sewing machine to stitch with and a little disoriented in not being in my surroundings, but give me a day – we are going to Target later!
I brought along my new Papertrey set that I haven’t had time at home to play with, and today feeling the need to use something new and fun, I pulled out the Believe set from my suitcase. At Archivers the other day I picked up some of the new Basic Grey Figgy paper (which you can find here), and decided to cut into. I stamped the Santa image on Papertrey white cardstock with Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink and then colored with Copic Markers. To give the image a little oomph, I used Liquid Applique on the coat and hat. Santa had to have fur! The image panel is raised on mounting tape and the edges are sponged with SU Bravo Burgundy.
Stamps: Believe by Papertrey ink
Paper: Papertrey White, SU Confetti White, Always Artichoke and Bravo Burgundy, Basic Grey Figgy
Ink: Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink, SU Bravo Burgundy
Accessories: Copic Markers, Liquid Applique, Ribbon
Have fun with Jeanne…although I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that. Love the card!
Love how this turned out! Have a fabulous time with Jeanne! I was going to say “stay out of trouble” but where is the fun in that?
WHY COULDN’T YOU HAVE COME WHEN I WAS THERE 4 DAYS AGO!!! Dang!
Why couldn’t I have stayed long enough!
Cute card!
Your card is beautiful! The DP is fabulous and that Santa image is wonderful! Love how you used Liquid Applique!
Oh, how fun! Enjoy your stay in Texas!

Oh, Sherry! I ordered this set the other day along with some of the white paper. I can’t wait to get it. Your card is darling and I love that DP with it. I would love to be with you guys. I had so much fun. I’m still not rested up though!
What a sweet card!!
Have fun with Jeanne and her toys!! (like you nee me to tell you that!! LOL!)
WOW! Love your card! It’s just perfect…I’ve got to get my set out and play!
What tha…?! Tell Queen Jeanne she needs to set up a stamp date with some buddies in the vicinity (I consider Oklahoma in the vicinity, by the way) and we’ll head on over to meet you! A mini-shoebox swap, if you will! Seriously, I’ll drive all night (I defy you NOT to think of that Cyndi Lauper/Celine Dion song now… hee hee. I’m not very nice, am I?!)
Such a pretty card. Love the colours and that figgy paper is downright yummy looking. I guess I will have to purchase some now! TFS and have fun in TX! I live in Austin, so if you are close by, PM me and I will call a couple of other SCS friends of mine and we could meet!
WOWZIE what a Great Card ..

Beautifully done!
Have too much fun!
Wow; what a gorgeous card Sherry! Jeanne’s got some wonderful toys to play with just by looking at her cards. You two need to take a road trip to CA and bring Jeanne’s toys too.
Very cute Sherry!
