Brrrr! I could use a cup of Hot Chocolate!

Hello my friends!

BRRR!  It sure is cold outside and more snow

is on it's way so I've decided to stay in where it is warm

and 'get crafty'!

I spotted a 'sketch' challenge and I thought I'd play along.

This is a very easy sketch to follow and I think it made for a fun card.

The challenge blog is called Inspire,Create Challenges.  I love doing

sketches so I'm sure I'll be visiting this blog again & again!

NOW ... here's where it pays to check out the RULES first before you begin!

Here is my original card (before reading the rules) ...

Cute card yes ... but then I read the rules and saw this rule:

• We ask that all submissions include some stamping, no digital images please

SO ... back to the drawing board since I only used paper & dies.  

Luckily,  I was able to fix my original card by using the cute 

Verve Stamp set called 'Winter Mittens' 

Whew!!!

Here are a few other challenges to share in:

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

Watercooler Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes Masculine

This beautiful design paper is from American Crafts and

the die I have used for my banner is Sue Wilson ' Stitched Flags'.

 Thanks so much for stopping by!
As always . . .
