Created this Christmas card with a Rocking Horse Toy theme in mind & using sketch from Stuck On U Sketches that you can see below. I find sketches difficult but I think "I Rocked" this one so "I'm Rocking around the Christmas Tree." Did you get the puns?
Created this using Martha Stewart Holidays Designer Paper Pad with 3 different designer papers. Also used brown & red cardstock. Base is MS Holiday DP, next layer is brown cardstock, next layer is MS Holiday DP, sentiment tag is brown cardstock cut with Spellbinders & a red cardstock tag with rocking horse on it made with Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge stamped with sentiment "Joy", half circle is maroon cardstock cut with Spellbidners embossed with Woodgrain embossing folder and banner with gifts & rocking horse print is MS Holiday DP. Added: mini red jingle bells, white snowflake brad & white ribbon.
Photographed with 3 plastic rocking horses that were from my baby shower cake before my Daughter was born.
