Christmas in the heart - TMS #349



Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!  I've got a Christmas card this week...


My card is actually the second one I created for this week's challenge.  The first one was great in my mind, but in reality... it FAILED!  So it got torn apart.  Maybe it didn't work because all I could think about was the fact that I had just finished off my bag of Chicken Bone Bites. :(  My parents brought them to me and I tried to make them last as long as possible, but now they are all gone.  If you haven't been to the Maritimes, you may not even know what I'm talking about.  They are a cinnamon candy filled with chocolate!!!!!  Sooooooo good!!  Ganong is the original and the best!  See?

That had nothing to do with my card, but I really am sad they're gone and just wanted to whine a little.  Now back to reality...

The DP all had silver through it... it's very pretty IRL!!

This week our very own Melissa is sponsoring with another embellishment pouch from Freckled Fawn, so you want to play along for your chance to win that!!

Beautiful card Debbie. Really loving the sketch. It's very different and you really nailed it. Life's been busy but I'm adding this to my list an hopes I get to play this week. Have a wonderful week.

Very clever using the Christmas ornaments in place of the circles. Lovely card!

Hi Jessi,

Love the shimmer to your card, I'm sure we can't truly appreciate it by your photo...

Mmm - I'd get de-railed by candy too. Where does it come from?

Hope you have a super creative week!

So glad you explained what Chicken Bones. I'm thinking crackers or something like that. Cinnamon and chocolate - mmmm. Reminds me of Mexican hot chocolate.

Your card is gorgeous!! I would love to see that paper IRL. Wow! And the sketch was perfect for the Christmas ornaments. Beautiful!

Great idea using the ornaments. They look so sparkly. I want to try Chicken Bones now!
