Greetings
traveller. Welcome to the Guild Hall. Our stores are getting thin as
the winter wears on and last night we had yet another meal of peas. The Lady
Commander of Copics and I set out today to ride to a nearby village to
see if we could procure a more varied selection of produce. We stopped
at four different towns and all anyone had available for sale were peas.
Being the Guildy I am, I started to grow suspicious of some kind of
vegetable conspiracy...also I had a sudden urge to make a pea-based card (must be from eating all the peas).
Peas on a Christmas card? I know I know...I did it again...I couldn't help it. The
front of this card was put together pretty quickly, earning me +231
speed exp points, allowing me to level up my speed skill! I started this
card by stamping the pea pods using the My Little Shoebox “Farmer’s
Market” set then colouring them using Distress Markers. I used
some double sided patterned paper to create the background, separating
the sides with a shiny gold ribbon to bring some Christmas bling to the front. I then added a cardboard holly
thingy I bought in a package that was on clearance a while ago. I’m not
even sure why I bought those...I don’t really like them. Oh well. At least I used one up with this card!
On the inside I stamped the Penny Black image to use as the sentiment (making the peas on the front make more sense and less random - lol).
On the envelope I stamped a little green holly from the Tim Holtz “Christmas Memories” set.This pod-tastic creation will pea-form in the following challenges:CHNC Challenge #110: P-p-p pick up a penguin or anything else beginning with PChallenges 4 Everybody Challenge #13: Anything GoesSparkles Christmas Challenge #25: Anything GoesCHNC Challenge Extra for FebruarySpark Your Creativity Now!

turned out my Guildy instincts were correct, as the Lady Commander of
Copics and I uncovered a vegetable conspiracy when we travelled to the
fifth town on our list. Why were all the towns left with only peas? What
had happened to all of the produce that was harvested for the winter?
We vowed to get to the root of the problem and liberate the realm from their pea filled meals.~ Guild Master Crystal ~
