Here it is March and somehow I'm already behind to building my 2009 holiday card stash. I decided to use this week's CPS sketch to get one more holiday card completed. I also combined it with the challenge at the BasicGrey Challenge blog to make a card with a pocket design.
Papers are Basic Grey Figgy Pudding and Epoxy sticker accents are Basic Grey Alpine Frost. The snowflake trail from Inkadinkado was stamped in Maroon Chalk ink, clear embossed, and decorated with small circle epoxy stickers. The sentiment is from Verve Visual Winter Words.
The center panel is attached with tape on three sides, so this vintage snowman image can be tucked inside the pocket.
That is beautiful and a great way to do something different. I need to make a Christmas card every month.

Wonderful card Steph and your pocket design is such a great idea, I love the little snowman scene tucked inside. I adore Figgy Pudding, I bought quite a few last year so that I don't run out any time soon! Glad you could join in the BasicGrey challenge this week. Chris :)
