Joyeux Noël

In my travels around blogland I usually hit upon a few blogs that have a blog list of challenges. I've been seeing 2 Sketches 4 You quite frequently so I figured I would try my hand at it. I love using pre-handed to you-sketches, it takes a least some of the guess work out of my project. I have had the last few days off and am glad to say that my mojo has not been off as well. Here's the card that I've come up with based on Kazan Clark's sketch for this week:


Here is the sketch that I based my card on:



I've got some DT cards that I have to work on, so hopefully my mojo will stay a while and put her feet up. Or at least inform me of more sketch challenges out there.
Have a great day and happy stamping!
