here is my creation for LAST Tuesday's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. I haven't missed a challenge yet and don't want to start now!!! If you've never been to this challenge blog ... YOU ARE MISSING IT!!!!! This site is packed full of inspiration, fun & prizes!
This week the design team really outdid themselves! Besides the sketch ... they've tacked on the theme of "BAKING" and these ladies have created some AMAZING projects ... please go check it out!!!
Now, because I'm so far behind ... I really didn't take a lot of time with this creation but I'm very happy with the outcome. Although, before I send it in the mail ... I think I'll add a few more little touches to it ... maybe some SPARKLE for the holidays ... what do you think???
My image is from one of my favorite companies ... Crafty Secrets ... the Sweet Stuff large stamp set. I have used Very Vanilla for my base card, Bazzill Christmas Green and DCWV designer papers. The gingham is a wide ribbon I found at The Flower Factory (a local wholesaler) and the foam pinwheel candies are from a Peel & Stick pack purchased at Michael's. I have used Prisma markers for my coloring and Nestabilities Classic Circles for matting. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and say hello!! I hope you are all ready for Christmas ... I'm getting closer, LOL!! Happy Holidays!!
I love your gorgeous card! Pretty colors, dp and lots of beautiful detail! Thank you for fitting us into your busy schedule at this time of the year. I hope that you will have a wonderful Christmas and look forward to your playing with us again in the New Year!

Hey Darlene, thank you so much for being a staple in our challenges. What would we do without seeing your wonderful creations each week? I just love your card and of course a big fan of crafy secrets..I need to pull mine out. You were the one who introduced Crafty Secrets to me..remember that?? Wow..seems like ages ago..Is your group over at SCS still? I need to drop in over there and check in from time to time. I just wish I had more time to dedicate to other challenges. Anyway, keep these beauties coming ok? Thank you so much for playing the Midnight Madness sketch Challenge this week. I know it will get busy in the next few days or so, so I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.
