Merry Christmas, Roxie! I think you rocked this sketch challenge today! And thanks for the early post. I created a simple card letting my paper do the work. Come have a look!
The new My Mind's Eye Christmas papers look alot like last years Basic Grey papers with a twist in color, but who can resist the charm of snowpeople? I decided to use papers for my panels and a die cut for the sentiment. My background panels and the cardbase are all from Brazzill's Christmas assortment pack. I added the coarse Martha glitter to the small rectangle. I love that stuff!!! And to tie it all together, I faux stitched with one of StarvingArtstamps unmounted images.
Seems a simple card, but it was actually far from it. Sketches continue to challenge my mind into thinking in the box(es)! Thanks for your comments...
Awesome, awesome. The dp is so cute and I just love, love the little popped up snowman and tree. Someday I will figure out how to mix different dp to get something that looks so perfect together. You have to feel happy when you see fun little snowpeople smile.

Susan, I see you managed to place atleast one part of your name in today's card, and very strategically positioned too! Love your cuddled dp and your faux border. Very creative today, just like every card up to this point. Hope Mr. Andy is getting adjusted to his newest diagnosis! oh no!

This is so cute, Susan! I love the MME Christmas papers - I don't have them, unfortunately! Love how you popped up the images here and there! The glittered sentiment panel is very pretty! Great job with the sketch - this is very festive!

Great job Susan. I really like this dp. I got some too. I need to use it. I was just looking at that coarse glitter the other day. She has some great stuff. Looks terrific here. The sketches challenge me too. I have the hardest time with them. This is wonderful. TFS
