Hello, our last week in 2009! I trust you all had a Merry Little Christmas and as much as I like Christmas, I am just as happy to have it behind me ( no pun intended, LOL) and get back to my 'normal' routine. I already have my Christmas tree down and any decorations related to the Holiday season. I really DO see why some go out of town skiing or on cruise during holidays, am I the only one that feels this way, I really am not a scrooge!!. My next thing is to give my house a good cleaning which I am happy to say I have started on that yesterday, today and maybe tomorrow should do it if I do not get distracted and go off and do other things. Like that NEVER happens. Let me introduce my card this week, a birthday card, one can always use one of those, I like how her hat came together and her bow on her collar, something new for me.
I went with brown, metallic gold and some pinks.
The inside. I have patterned paper here but quite pale so one can still write a birthday greeting inside.

Other than the MMSC, I have entered this in the Crafty Creations, #47 where they have 'no rules' this challenge so I am going to squeak this card in as my second entry. I also found the Challenge Blog
Charismacards, and this week is anything BUT Christmas.
Thanks for stopping by, have a safe and Happy News Years. Hugs ~ Jane

Jane you have done a very unique and charming interpretation to the sketch challenge this week. It is so inspiring. I love the colors and all your wonderful embellishments. Good for you getting all your decorations down. I have not started yet. I get very nostalgic when I take them down and put them away. Each piece has so many memories and I basically shed some tears while I pack it up...so I put it off until after New Year's Eve. Maybe this year will be different because I am so ready for 2009 to be over with. 2010 is New Beginnings!!! Best Wishes to you and yours for a very Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year!!!
