They just had a new release and we are so lucky, because Karen is giveaway Christmas stamps to our lucky MMSC29 Bonus Winner this week. Woo Hoo, just in time for Christmas :) Thank you Karen.

Here is this week's sketch:

Here is my take on the sketch:

I used the stamps Ansley's Surprise from Wags n Whiskers for this weeks card. I paper pieced the gifts and ribbon and colored the rest with Prisma color pencils and gamsol. The background of the image panel is embossed with the Cuttlebug Snowflake folder. The paper is from My Mind's Eye Winter Wonderland pack. The Snowflakes are stickers I had in my stash.

I hope this card inspires you to create with this sketch. For more inspiration, please visit my dt sisters:
