It’s the day after Thanksgiving…
What a wonderful day we had sharing with family and friends. I hope all of you that celebrated did also. We are STUFFED to the gills with turkey and stuffing and pumpkin pie, and we have lots of leftovers to continue the feast for at least a few more days. I hope to share some more about that later, but for now I wanted to share another Christmas card I made, since we are now in full fledged Christmas season!
I made this SU White Christmas Shaker card after Linda Heller from Where the Rubber Hits the Road was kind enough to send me some SU shaker frames (from our #FreebieFriday random drawing contest). For this card, I cut and pieced two of them together to create a larger shaker to contain this scene that is reminiscent of this time of year – getting the annual Christmas tree. I stamped it all in Memento Black Ink and then colored in with SU Stampin’ Write Markers. I filled it with some sequins, wrapped it with SU DSP and sponged the edges to vintage it up a bit. Finishing touches were a linen thread bow and brown metal brad.
The SUO Challenge SUO#110 this week is “Marker Fun,” and this one was fun with markers, so I am sharing there.
I know just who this card is going to, and I hope they have as much fun shakin’ it as I did coloring it!
Cheers & Thankful Holiday Hugs,

Jodi, I LOVE this card — the concept, the coloring, the presentation — it’s wonderful! It makes me smile and somehow as I look at the image, I can picture you driving the car and singing Christmas songs as you roll along, with cookies in the seat beside you to share with one and all 😉 Thanks for playing along at SUO this week!
