Believe it or not, I made my first Christmas card for the 2011 Christmas season today. I was spurred on by a great new-to-me challenge site called Jingle Belles. The idea is if we start now and make one Christmas card per week by the time the holidays roll around we will have (in my case) about half of our cards made. Plus they hooked up this week with Sketchy Thursdays and are offering a double chance to win. Well that was right up my alley! I also have entered it over at The Paper Variety for their Feb. 23rd "Sew Much Fun" challenge which you can check out here. I used the sketch, created the card and now have three chances to win. And who knows....come December you just might find this card in YOUR mailbox!
BEAUTIFUL Card, Sandi! Have a GREAT Day,
