Sketch 145

I hope you're staying toasty warm wherever it is you're visiting us from! Snow is finally here in western New York and it is beginning to feel like Christmas isn't that far behind.

We have yet another fabulous sketch for you this week. Rotate it any way you like, but make sure all of the elements are there.


Also, a note to those who participate in multiple challenges: your creation can be linked to as many other challenges as you like. But we ask that Card Patterns be the only sketch challenge. Creations that fail to follow this guideline will be removed from inlinkz. Thank you for your understanding!

Jinny Newlin: Soaring

I am a former, kindergarten teacher turned stay-at-home, home school mom to a smart, spunky, eight-year-old Ezekiel and vocal, tenacious, three-year-old Adina. I live, with my husband, BJ, and my two children, in Kansas City, Kansas, just over an hour and half north of where I grew up. When I’m not taking care of or playing with my family, you can find me cooking, baking, gardening, camping, sewing, and of course, paper crafting. My love for the latter started, over ten years ago, at a Stampin’ Up workshop, but my love for creating began before birth. You can find me blogging at Soaring, designing for Wplus9 Design, and contributing to both The Play Date Café Color Challenge and Sketches in Thyme Scrap Challenge. And I’m beyond thrilled to be joining the talented likes of the Card Patterns team this week!

And here is Jinny's lovely take on the sketch this week:
