It's time for a new sketch at
Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by
Karren.
I love the possibilities with this sketch. I had a tough time deciding whether I want to do a pattern across that strip - or a big word. As you can see, the big word won (but only because I picked up my mail as I was deciding this and had an order with "joy". It's an older die but new to me.)
I broke into some of my favorite Christmas paper that was retired years and years ago. I use it sparingly but felt strongly about backing "joy" with something that made a statement. Fabulous soft colors mixed with some gray and silver.
And since I had cut into my stash of paper, I did two others - so my Christmas card stash is up to twelve. Woo-hoo!!
I hope to see you playing along with us this week.
