KT Fit Kitty's hot chocolate card is filled with cuteness!  She uses the Mugs stencil to create her background. She adds a tan vellum layer and adds a pretty white doily.  Combining the gingerbread man (Ginger Snap stamp and die set-retired) and a mug of hot chocolate from the Cup of Cocoa stamp and die set makes for a scrumpdillyicious card!

Diane's FAVE

Lynn H. is back as Diane's favorite! Making the sketch with a pocket for a tag was a fabulous idea!  She features Winston (Winston's Home for Christmas retired stamp set) in his dashing red & white sweater.  The red & white papers are so festive as is the snowflake!  

Amy's FAVE

Billie A.'s card is filled with feline fun!  She uses papers from  A Cat's Life paper pad for her layers.  Then she adds her darling gray kitten from the Newton's Antics stamp and die set.  Her added toys around the box, especially the paper pieced mouse, are wonderful additions to her card!

Claire's FAVE

Papierelle's super CAS card uses the sketch in the most creative way!  Using the snowboarding moose from the Moose Mountain stamp set, she has him enjoying some slopes using the angles of the sketch!  Seriously creative!

Helen F.'s card will fill your heart with feline happiness!  She stamps the Merry Christmas sentiment down her card alternating in chartreuse and red.  She uses stars as two of her sketch elements.  Don't you love the star die cut out with starry paper in the background?  Then she adds the feline family from the Newton's Christmas Kittens stamp set and colors them spectacularly!  So much fun!

Be prepared to burst out singing!  Tmschultz5's amazing card is filled with music!  She sets the stage with her music score background created using the Music stencil. She adds two circles with the heads of nutcrackers using the Nutcrackers stamp set. The third circle holds the punny sentiment.  She adds a bright red vertical strip with the Little Drummer Boy refrain (Nutcrackers die set) running down it. Are you singing yet?

Becky's FAVE

Ildi uses tan, brown, and a pop of pink for her lovely card. She starts with a tan card bases and uses the Holiday Foliage stencil and brown ink to create her background. She repeatedly stamps the sentiment down the vertical strip for an ombre effect. She uses the darling fox in her little pink sweater from the 

Sweater Weather stamp set and cut using the coordinating die set.  She adds playful, pink clouds.  Fabulously done!

Crystal's FAVE

Oh, snap!  Meghan K. makes this delightful gingerbread card--decorated with all kinds of red and white goodies--a sweet treat to behold!  She stamps two gingerbread people from the Ginger Snap stamp set and places them on the circular sketch elements.  Her vertical strip is a red and white gingham paper.  All is placed on a kraft paper with white circles.  The splattering of red pearls look like cinnamon dots.  Just too cute!

Sunshine HoneyBee uses a big pawprint and two holiday puppies to represent the sketch, and they look darling together. She uses the Pawprint Shaker die and two puppies from the Christmas Puppies stamp and die set.  The plaid strip behind them add a nice holiday touch!  Fabulous way to send Christmas greetings to your canine-lovin' friends!

Bhavya's  take on the sketch by making two of the windows into balloons was wildly creative!  Behind those bright balloons you'll spy some fun pink clouds distressed while using the Clouds stencil. She adds the sweet felines from the Newton's Sweetheart stamp and die set and adds the white embossed sentiment on a black banner.  Adorable!

Becky's FAVE

Amy T. uses fluorescent colors for all her scary images from the Spooky Skeletons stamp and die set. She adds them to her spectacular background and shimmery black frame die cut from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set.  Look in those portholes and see all the spooky images from the Spooky Street stamp set. A spook-tacular way to celebrate Halloween!

Crystal's FAVE

Joyce M. creatively uses the sketch to look through windows and see what her furry friends are up to!  For two of her windows, we can see the kitties from the Newton's Book Club stamp set inside enjoying some books. Don't you love those yellow gingham curtains?  Her center window has us looking outside to see the puppy and kitty from the Porch Swing Friends stamp set enjoying an afternoon nap!  So clever!

Debbie's FAVE

Betty Tollner's use of two very different stamp sets makes for a fabulous get well card!  She uses the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set to set the stage with fun papers and colors. Her doctor from the Newton's Sick Day stamp and die set looks like she has her paws full with the injured kitten (same set) and gingerbread man from the Ginger Snap stamp set, often reserved for the winter holidays. The addition of the medical supplies adds fun touches to the get well message!

Diane's FAVE

Rebecca W. creates a spectacular background using the scallop-edged frame from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set Don't you love how it goes from the sky, waterline, and sandy beach?  She selects the perfect images from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp and die set for each natural element.  A superbly designed summer card!

Hope everybody is doing good, can't wait to see what you guys do for the next challenge.
