Well I’ve been up since 4.30am!! This is what happens when you feel ill and go to bed at 9.30pm – well its what happens to me.
So I decided to utilise this lovely quiet time and make a couple of cards and continued on with the Christmas Theme from yesterday. Well the Christmas Classic set was still on my desk so why waste energy getting a new set out?
I remembered the pretty sketch challenge from Stamping 411 so decided to use that for my next card.
I do love to make cards from sketches as I find when I look at a sketch I can see so many cards with it whereas if I just go and pull out a stamp set to use I can deliberate for hours on colours, papers and layout.
You should give a sketch a try – use any of the ones I’ve done or just simply do a Google search on ‘sketch challenge’ and I’m sure you’ll be amazed at how many places have these challenges every week.
Here is my card ….

Now I think I might take this aching body back to bed for a little nap and try and get over this flu.
