Ok so I am going to make ONE Christmas card this year from scratch.  How could I not with the super cute and easy card sketch that Elisabeth posted over on ACB’s community forum

She also challenged us to create a holiday card without using any holiday themed papers, which was a great idea!  So for the above I went with some Sassafras Lass – I needed some bright and bold!  

Hope your weekend is going wonderfully.  It’s in the 40′s here which some Chicagoans deem “Shorts Weather” in the middle of December.  Not me… ”Shorts Weather” for me is about mid-July when I’ve finally taken off the damage from holiday feasting (which yes lasts through Valentine’s Day)… but they can go for it.  

Thanks for stopping by today, and have a great day!
