Trying to get back in the grind after traveling over the Thanksgiving holiday has been slow to say the least. I bowl on Monday and Thursday nights so that leaves Tuesday and Wed to catch up or try to get ahead. :-)
I did get the Christmas tree up last night and will add ornaments a little at a time. Since my "little elves" did not travel to Florida this year, I am on my own with decorating the tree. Cannot get Bill to help. I think he has an aversion to tree trimming. He seems to disappear when I mention it! Do you have husbands or boyfriends that are the same way?
Yesterday was Tuesday and that means a new sketch from Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #50! I have all my Christmas cards finished but I keep pulling out stamps that I haven't used yet. For Mercy's challenge I chose to use Papertrey Ink's Holiday Button Bits. Love the sketch and the card came together easily!

I picked out the colors of Pure Poppy and Ripe Avocado. For the third color I thought a yellow gold would be pretty and went with Summer Sunrise. Looks pretty together, don't you think? The DP is Bitty Dot Basics. The sentiment is part of the stamp set and is stamped with white craft ink.
Supplies:
Stamps and Paper: All from Papertrey Ink
Ink: White Craft and Old Olive
Accessories: PTI Vintage Holiday Mix buttons, MS Border Punch, Spellbinders Circles
Enjoy!

How cute, creative idea with the buttons on the holly! Great job on the sketch Peggy.
So clean cut and cheery, like the layers/fancy edging and buttons. My DH hates putting up xmas decorations, I usually have to start pulling the {artificial} tree out of the crawl space and then when it looks like I may sustain injury doing it on my own, that's when he eventually steps in LOL!
This is BEAUTIFUL, Peggy! What a way-cool color combo and awesome take on Mercy's sketch. You have been rocking her sketches and I LOVE that! Buttons are fabulous-I love that set!
peggy...this is gorgeous! love the green and red with the *pop* of yellow...so stunning! love the clean lines, the and the buttons as the holly berries!
