MERRY CHRISTMAS GIFT


Good morning everyone, and Merry Christmas.  I can't believe that in eight days, Christmas will be here for another year.  They get faster and faster each year as I get older.  :) 
Today over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, I have another sketch, well, the last one for the year.

Sketch # 317

When I designed this sketch in 2024, I wondered how it would turn out.  But now I've made my card and sent it to my sister in Australia, I was so happy, and they are her favourite colours, especailly non traditional.


A quick peek at the inside of the card.

Don't forget to drop by Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and check out what the rest of the design team has created using these sketches and our guest design, Carol.
