Lately the challenges have had some wonderful homey Christmas photos to inspire us and Inspired by All the Little Things gave us this one.
I would love it if this was in my own house. I like everything about it except for the reference to cold. ;) I think you can see how I was inspired although if I had more time I'd go a different direction.
A stamp by Clearly Besotted takes center stage stamped in HA Unicorn White. I tried heat embossing but even with my anti-static tool I had white everywhere. I think this looks more chalkboard-y anyway. The stripe is a leftover from a CP background stamp, the frame is embossed and inked with Hickory Smoke. When looking for something else I ran across the little tree die I've had forever and forgotten about. They added just the right finishing touch.
I added a number of people to my Christmas list this morning. Now I need to go count my cards and see if I have enough. What about you?

Beautiful, and it definitely resembles that fabulous inspiration piece! And anti-static tool? I use mine and ALWAYS get flecks!! What's a girl to do?
Oh Bobby this is fabulous, love that candy cane paper and woodgrain, makes a great backdrop for your chalkboard. Thank you for sharing with us at Inspired By All the Little Things!
Cute take on the inspiration photo Bobby! I like the little trees and the peppermint stripes!
I do see where your inspiration came from - you've clinched it, in a very beautiful way!

Bobby, I love the direction you took! Wood frame, representative greens, and super chalk sentiment!!! Just perfect!
Fabulous card...love your chalkboard look! And those trees are just the perfect addition!
I love this, Bobby! Great take on the inspiration photo!
Fabulous card Bobby! Great layout and that sentiment is perfect. Just right on your chalkboard. Looks like I am not the only one that still gets embossing bits on my card after I use my anti static pad.
Fabulous, Bobby ... the frame around that lovely chalkboard is gorgeous, so texture-y ... love the dash of colour from those candy stripes! Hugs, Anita :)
A beautiful translation of the inspiration photo; the chalkboard is marvelous! I hear you about the 'cold'...we're at a balmy -28C here today...with more of the same forecast for the remainder of the week AND over the weekend!
Hugs`c
