I hope everyone got their fill of Black Friday, or better yet, just stayed in and avoided it all! I managed to unbury my craft area, which had gotten WAY out of hand. Either my space is shrinking or my supplies are multiplying...Hmmmm.
I worked on a card last night in my 'new again', organized craft space. I worked a few challenges into one card. I really had a tough time with this one; I guess challenges are called challenges for a reason. The sketch is from Seize the Sketch; I wanted to make a fairly traditional Christmas card, but my mind kept telling me that this was more of a CAS/contemporary layout. The colors are from Color Throwdown. I love the combo this week, and the colors themselves were not a problem, but once I got my sketch idea in my head, I had a hard time making the colors fit the idea.
So, this is what I came up with~
The sketch~

My inspiration came from today's Splitcoaststamper Inspiration site, Horchow's. This is also for Shopping Our Stash's challenge, which is Holiday or Winter theme.
I took a few liberties with the sketch, adding a sentiment banner, ribbon and an image on the background panel, but I do think the basic sketch is still there.
Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a glorious weekend!
