Freshly Made Sketches 4

We've got another great sketch for you to try at Freshly Made Sketches this week.  And LeAnne Pugliese is joining us at Guest Designer!

I can hardly believe that we're up to our fourth week already!  It's been such a treat to check out the submissions to our challenges.  I love to see how everyone interprets the sketch, and I always learn a new thing or two.  Often, I'll see something new and I think "now why didn't I think of that!"  So keep 'em coming.

For my card this week, I've continued the Christmas theme.

The card base is Chocolate Chip and the designer paper is called Jolly Holiday.  I finished it up with some Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive accents, including my snowflakes.  The tag is from Two Tags, a Stampin' Up! exclusive Sizzix die.

I hope you have a chance to join us for our challenge this week.  Our design team has lots of inspiration for you, so hop on over to their blogs and show them some love!


Then don't forget to hop on over to Freshly Made Sketches and use the linky tool to show us your creation!

Jen what a cute card. I love how you included the two tags portion into the front. (I'll have to try that one). Love your double snowflake too. The touch of cherry cobbler makes this a Wowzer!
I just love the new Freshly Made site and enjoy all the DT samples. I want to do the challenges but I'm having a hard time getting something done to enter! Where does the time go? Hugs.

Lovely Christmas card--I like that you used a non-traditional color for the base! That tag die has been on my wish list for a long time!

Great christmas card Jen! Love the two tag die and the paper piercing at the bottom of the card!

The paper piercing is a fab little detail! And I love how you used that tag die - very clever! Your Christmas cards have all been great - you are waaay ahead of me! I also loved the retro one from yesterday - such funky paper!

Another beautiful Christmas card! I love the layers on this one and that tag is adorable! Love how you've been able to incorporate the brown; it gives such a warm feel to the card.

Outstanding color combo. Love how you folded the tag and added the cutest embellies. Blessings, Diane
