Many Thanks

I hope all of you have had a good start to 2013.  We have been so blessed, and pray that this will continue in 2013.  May you experience the same.  Now it is time to send a few thank yous for recent gifts. 
I was able to use several new items:  DP and a chip board sticker from Basic Grey, and the Woven EF by QuicKutz.  I have had the twine (Your Next Stamp) for a while, and the stamp (The Rubber Cafe) for a couple of years.  This sketch is great for an emphasis on the sentiment.

Glittery White for Christmas

I discovered more names on my Christmas card list!  This was fairly quick, and still meets some challenges, I think.  I added glitter to the snowflake bg, and used shimmery white cs for that layer.  The stars are punched from shimmery off white cs with a Recollections punch.
For this ODB challenge:  N= New punch, Nativity;  O= old lace (that was a hard one);  E= embossing;  L= lace, layers.
