Merry & Bright

It's Friday again!  Can you believe it!  You know what that means...I'm back with another creation for the new challenge at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long!  We have another great one for you this week...it's a sketch challenge.  Here's a peek at our sketch...

I love sketch challenges as they take so much of the designing

stress out of the picture...and yet I don't use a sketch often.  

I was given a digi from our sponsor that pictured 3 bauble 

ornaments.  I knew immediately that I wanted to fussy 

cut them and use them that way in my design.  

Speaking of sponsors, our sponsor this week is...

and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digis of their choice!

Here's a look at my card for this week...

I found the perfect Christmas ornament background paper and went from there.  The sentiment card was a purchase at Michaels when they were clearing out their Christmas stock for really cheap.  I used my new Stamp'n Up punch to do the little banner flags at the top of the sentiment card!  And of course I decided to stickle a whole bunch of everything on the card.  The finishing touch was to add little bows to the digi ornaments.  It was a quick and simple make thanks to the sketch and the coordinating paper pack!

I hope you'll join us in our Christmas card creating this week.  By the time Christmas rolls around, you'll be glad you have that stash of cards already finished and ready to go!
Remember, we've made it easy for you this week...the sketch design is already ready and that's half the battle.

Until next time...
