Santa got out his Christmas stationary and wrote one of my sons a note! I've used this stamp set a number of times for them, and when I saw the sketch for this week, I knew the set would come out again. Both of my sons are slowly moving into adulthood and they seem to be doing it in a very adult way (at their age, I was not nearly as calm and settled - but it was the 80s!) So the sentiment does not entirely fit them, but I'm not quite ready to give it up.
I found a scrap of plaid paper and found some bright green to go with it. The notebook paper die seemed a little too big for the sentiment so I decided to add some trees and snowflakes and am calling it Christmas stationary. The background and the notebook paper is a naturals type white paper with the flecks. I stamped Santa on plain white so his beard would pop and then fussy cut him.
Now I just have to decide which son deserves this!
I hope to see you playing along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches.
