From the Rooftop!

Hello Friends!

I'm stopping in with a card I made for the 100th Challenge over at the always-fun and always-challenging CAS(E) This Sketch. I've been a devotee of this challenge since the beginning and with this celebration, Chrissy has brought together current AND former outstanding design team members to enchant and inspire us! Yummo!

When I saw the sketch, I immediately thought of a rooftop. And since I'm making holiday cards, what better rooftop than a church rooftop?

I used my NBUS Papertrip Ink Tip Top dies to cut several roof peaks out of both gold paper and a scrap of beautiful woodgrain paper from GKW. The sediment is from PTI's "Fillable Frames #8 Mini" and the cross I cut from a gold snippet.

That's it. QACAS. I wish I could have taken a picture in the sunshine for you so you could see how the gold sparkles IRL. Then again, you're here because you have a brilliant Imaginarium on your shoulders so I know you can see it.

I hope you will be able to join in the CAS(E) This Sketch 100th Challenge, too! The link will take you to the website for all the details.

When the twins were little guys, one of their favorite interactive songs was, "Here Is the Church, Here Is the Steeple." (I don't know really know if that's the name of it.) It goes:

Here is the church,

Here is the steeple,

Open the door, 

And see all the people!

While you sing it you make a steeple with your hands together and then intertwine your fingers and then you open your thumbs (doors) and turn your hands inside out so your fingers (people) waggle back and forth! 

Goodness, they loved it! They would clap and laugh and chorus in unison, "Do it again, Bama!"

Do you know it? Is this a universal song for little children?

I'm hoping to post at least one more Thanksgiving card (poor Thanksgiving gets short shrift!) and after that I'll be cranking out the Christmas cards. You may be seeing more posts from me as I share them with you and I'm looking forward to seeing your creations, too!

I hate to tell you, but all of a sudden we are down to a measly FORTY DAYS until Christmas!!! If you are mailing cards overseas, that's "gulp" time! Oh, I'm sorry. Here, let me help you up.

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy.  LITS!* 

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to leave a comment and/or join as a follower! Please let me know you came by, so I can be sure and return the flavor!
