Now for my take on the sketch challenge this week...

I decided to make a Christmas card using Holiday Ornaments Stamp Set and Holiday Tags Shapeabilities Dies.  The ornament is detachable and the recepient can hang it on their tree!  Here's a couple of more pictures, one closeup...

and the other showing it detached.

To make the ornament, I die cut a piece of recycled packaging and another piece of desginer paper (the striped one) and glued them together with the image die cut.  Then I just added some gold string I got from the flower section at Michaels, a little bell, a bow, and a pearl.

The Sentiment is three different die cuts glued together.  I stamped each one with the sentiment and then couldn't decide which one to use, soooo I used all three!  The bird is a project "leftover" from last year that I decided to include.  I love being able to used up those "leftovers" I keep on hand!
