Greetings! I hope you all had a very nice Thanksgiving! What day is it? I'm not really sure... I'm coming down from an all day shopping spree for Black Friday and my time is all wonky. The DH and I have a long standing tradition of getting up at the crack of dawn and going shopping the day after Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving night we lay out all the coupons and ads and strategize. Then we wake up super early and head out...not to be seen again until late at night. This year, however, we changed it up a bit! One of our local malls opened at midnight with some crazy deals. SO...we stayed up all night! EEEK. Nothing like an all-nighter to make you feel your age. Ugh! I'm still recovering! I have 100% of my Christmas shopping done, though. Now I just need to wrap and mail, and enjoy the holiday season with friends and family.
Today's card was inspired by the uber cute PTI set that was new this Winter - On Ice! It's an adorable ice skate with socks and sentiments to add. As soon as I saw it - one word popped into my head - pink! The pink snowflake paper is from October Afternoon.
You can see in the stamp set there are five different socks! How freakin' cute is that? You can really create any feel to your card with them. I love the fonts also - I like it when two fonts are combined - think that's a great design element. I used my copics to color the skate blades and to barely give some icy color to the skate boots.
Close up of the skates! The blades are done with Martha Stewart's antique silver glitter. The tiny pom poms have been in my stash for a while now. The white background paper is from Bazzill and I liked it because it reminded me of snow.
Okay, all I can say is thank goodness I bought the die that makes the little skate!!! That's a whole lot of ice skates. Looks funny like that...all laid out in a row.
Wanda, thank you for sharing your card!!! It is awesome! I love that stamp set, and the little pom-pom is perfect to complete those cute skates! I made my cards using that patterned paper too, as well as a a turquoise patterned paper from Bo-Bunny!!! Have a Happy Holidays!!!!

Cute, cute card, Wanda! I love PTI! Love the glitter on the skate and the pom pom at the end of the laces. SO adorable!
Wow, I don't think I could pull off that shopping like you guys did. I never have shopped on Black Friday. Don't think I could take the pace. Lucky you to be done with your shopping, though. :)
