Practical Scrappers: December Card Sketch

It's time for another Card Sketch over at Practical Scrappers!  I love card sketches!  They are so great when you are in a creative rut OR when you have a 2 year old that really wants to play with you but you have to get a card made and posted for your Design Team.  Hypothetically speaking of course!

Here is the sketch we are working from today...

And here is my take on it...

It's so easy to look at this sketch and think...Christmas!  But I just got this cute paper pack: You Are My Happy by Teresa Collins and I wanted to use it!!

Make sure you stop by the Practical Scrappers blog today to see what the other Design Team Members have created based on this sketch!  You won't want to miss these cards!
