GROWING IN UNITY DAY 5

I hope you have enjoyed my week of growing in Unity as much as I have.  I though I would end the week with something different.  Since I've shared layouts the rest of the week, today I will share:

the Christmas card that will be sent to our family and friends this year.

I start planning the family Christmas card almost a year in advance, when my local scrapbook store, Cat's Creations Scrapbooks, has a sale.  I actually already have next year's Christmas card designed and the supplies purchased (I'm sick, I know!). 

Back to the card for this year...

I used paper from Echo Park, Best Creations, Wausau, and cardstock by Bazzill.

The ribbon is by May Arts and I used my copic markers to color the image.  I am not an accomplished copic user, but still prefer the way they color over other markers.  I used a corner chomper by We R Memory Keepers to make the decorative corners.  The stamp I used is the "Find The Joy" itty bitty and I used Memento ink to stamp the image.    I have wanted to use this stamp on a Christmas card ever since I bought it.   I found a sentiment stamp at Cat's that went perfectly with this stamp and here we are!

Thank you all for visiting my blog this week.  I appreciate your kind comments more than you could possibly know.  I will use random.org to choose a winner on Sunday, so check back then to see if you are the lucky winner.
