The Paper Players Sketch Challenge



Joanne has a fun sketch challenge today at The Paper Players:



I used some of my cute patterned paper for the 2 strips....the words on the bottom strip are, "it's the most wonderful time of the year."



I dug around in my box of die cuts and found this candle and a ready made poinsettia left from my days with Cheery Lynn.  I added the enamel dot in the center and adhered everything together.

You can check out the rest of the design team here:

I hope you will play along!
