It's Another Merry Monday!

November is really flying by and December will be here before you know it!  It's the perfect time for you to visit Always Playing with Paper and join in the Merry Monday Challenge #42 to create a few Christmas cards before December 25th rolls around!  I'm thrilled to be joining Lesley Croghan and her team of Merry Makers this month in their weekly sketch challenge!  Here's the fun sketch we used for this week's challenge:

I love this sketch and used patterned papers from Stampin' Up!'s Festival of Prints DSP Stack to create a clean and simple card!  Once again, I turned to the My Digital Studio program to create my sentiment and mittens image.  It allows me to add multiple colors to the stamp brush images so I can color coordinate them to any patterned paper I want to use!  It's really quick, fun and easy to do, too!  I like the way this card turned out and I hope you do too!  If so, please leave me a comment!  I really enjoy hearing from you! 

Be sure to see what the team of Merry Makers did with this sketch too by visiting their blogs.  I know you'll be inspired by their wonderful work!
