Hello! I hope all of you had fun ringing in the New Year, ours was low key and spent going out for dinner and coming home to play Wii games and watch movies. This was the first year that one of our kids actually made their own plans for New Years Eve but I'm sure it won't be the first.
Today is Sunday and the Sweet Sunday Sketch team is back after taking a week off for the holidays. Karen (our Sweet Sunday leader) has a fun sketch for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge this week and I hope you'll play along.
For the card that I created using the sketch, I used the My Favorite Things - a'la modes stamp set Here's the Story. I had so much fun creating with more of the goodies I received for Christmas on this card including the new Janome sewing machine I've wanted for so long. I've always loved the look of stitching on handmade cards and now I can add stitching on mine! I paper pieced the pants on this cute image (yes plaid pants lol) and colored the rest using Copic markers.
