Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 284 (TSSC284)

Sorry I missed the whole week again--I have been having a lot of problems with my eyes.  I have dry eye and it has been really bad this week for some reason.  So frustrating as everything is blurry and I am always feeling tired due to my eyes being so dry.  Needless to say--it does not make me feel like stamping :(

This week's sketch is a fun one and I am amazed by the variety of cards the team has designed for you.  Let's start with the sketch shall we.....

I decided to use the sketch for one of the cards for my newest tutorial. I will be posting the tutorial in the next day or so (depending on my eyes) but I thought I would give you a sneak peek today.

 

Here is the card that uses this sketch--check back for more details about the rest of the tutorial.

 I am trying to focus on mailable Christmas cards this year--it is crazy how much I spend on postage each year--but my friends and family are worth it!

Now check out the fabulous designs the team has put together for this sketch,

I was amazed--again!
