Jingle Belles Challenge #5

This week's challenge over at Jingle Belles is to use this sketch by Amy Tsuruta:

I love Amy's sketch!
Here is my card using it. Not my favorite creation to date, but I don't hate it either :) I found these small wood pieces (cut tree limbs) in the floral dept. at Wal-Mart for a few bucks. So I bought a bag thinking I would be able to use them for something. I could see these with a couple holes drilled into them to create wood buttons! Or you could paint them, Stickle them, etc. Thanks for coming by to have a look and I hope you are staying warm and dry. We got a heaping helping of ice overnight......makes me like snow a little more. Who else is ready for Spring? LOL

    I am totally ready for Spring, but I don't expect to see it until about May.

    I love your card, the wood really adds something to it!

    Don't you just love it when you find a find like that and then finally get to use it! I have so many "finds" myself. These absolutely look wonderful.

    So ready for spring here! That said, I love your Christmas card and feel all Christmasey looking at it! Very clever to use the wood pieces - and yes, I do that too, I get things and as I stand there in the aisle debating I think - yes, very useful, I can do this this and this with it! Now you make me want wood pieces!
