Guess what??  I get to be the sketch hostess over at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  I’m pretty excited about this one because I think everyone will be able to find fun ways to use it.  I first designed it as a panel to have colored images but then I realized it was great for DSP or sentiments too.

I went the sentiment route and springboard off my Fancy Friday card from a few weeks ago.  I had one extra stitched star from the Stitched with Cheer kit and thoughts it would be good to use it here.  To get the coordinating plaid on the bottom of the chalkboard panel, I cut a piece from the envelope insert.  It will be tucked down in the envelope so no one will know it is missing.  The sentiment comes from the same set as yesterday’s card (Santa’s Gifts).  I think it is going to stay a go-to for me as I finish up my cards.  I added the striped embossing on Kraft card stock to give a little more texture and the gems come from the kit.

I hope you are having a great week so far.  After seeing all that the design team has done to inspire this week, I just know the gallery will be fabulous.  I hope you will sneak down to your craft rooms and take a little time to create!  Back on Friday for this month’s Fancy Friday.  See you then!
