The Jingle Belles posted a fun sketch, so I tried my spin on it. I went through my Christmas supplies and found a circular stamp I'm not certain I've used before. That gave me the circular element the sketch called for. Then I went looking through my Christmas patterned paper and found several snippets that looked good together. I didn't even have to cut the two smaller pieces (yes, I do keep very small bits of paper sometimes), and the trims on the striped paper were minimal. Since the central image and one sheet of paper included sentiments, I didn't see any need to add another, so the small strip is just a fun accent rather than a spot to say Merry Christmas.
In the end, my card is a pretty close match to the sketch.

Such a fun, festive card and a FAB version of Stephanie's beautiful sketch! (For the record, I save tiny offcuts, too, especially if the paper pad was my favorite lol!!!) :) So pleased you could join our Jingle Belles fun!
