Holiday Thanks

Last weekend, I realized that I was short several card sets for the boys teachers.  I had two new stamp sets to play with for this card:  a new Uniko set and a new Winnie & Walter set.  Love them both.  The sentiment is from W&W (where has this been all my life?!) and the detailed leaves, pinecones, etc. are from Uniko. Love the versatility of both the sets.  They'll be getting a lot of inky time from me in the future.  I love, love, love one layer cards.

Have a funny story about Marcel's letter for Santa. He asked for lottery tickets (we buy them every so often) and after he asked for them in his letter he said, "Just so you know, after I scratch them off, I give them to my dad and he gives me bucks for them."  Pat and I were cracking up.  Pretty bad that this implies that Marcel knows he has to be 18 to gamble :)

Such a cute story! Your card is just beautiful! I love one layer cards too, but I can't do them. You only get one shot and I always mess them up! haha!

You are certainly the master at one layer cards, such simplicity and beauty! I purchased a few lottery tickets for my boys' stockings this year, I think it is a fun idea!

Such a sweet way to use this Uniko set and what a sweetie Marcel is xx

This is perfect! I felt the same about the W&W set, and the Uniko set is definitely on my wish list...love how you used it here. Still smiling about Marcel's letter. :) Have a wonderful, happy Christmas, Lynn!

Oh my I can't stop laughing I love the way Marcel thinks! Actually he is quite the entrepreneur! I love your W & W card, their stamps/fonts are so amazing and I just realized I don't have that set--must rectify. So glad you got the shopping done--a few small things and I am too!

Love this, so channels the "rustic chic" vibe but so perfectly CAS.
