Good morning - it's time for another challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - it's a new month too and it's my turn to choose the challenges. The first week of the month is always a sketch and here's what I have for today

Here is my card


Now I thought that I was being very organised when I made this card a few weeks ago, unfortunately this stamp set - Pines and Poinsettias has since been retired from the Stampin' Up catalogue but I do love it - so I thought that you might indulge me and not mind if I used it!
I used markers to colour my stamps and Chocolate Chip ink to sponge around all my edges. 
Please do pop over and take a look at the rest of the dt's amazing work - we have a fabulous Guest Designer this month and she has brought prizes too!
See you soon - Jacqueline xx

    Wow Jacqueline what an amazing card. Must admit this set is a favourite of mine as well. Just seems to work every time eh? Love what you've done with the sketch - think I might have looked at it and scratched my head!

    I just adore your polka dotted background! It's amazing with your beautiful images on top! I never thought I'd like that stamp set, but you make me *NEED* it! ;)

    I don't mind admitting I was daunted by this sketch! You've made a brilliant job of it and it's always lovely to see this lovely set! Vicky x

    Hi Jacqueline - I love the many different ways I've seen you use that stamp set. So I don't mind at all indulging you especially if it means I get to see another pretty card that you made with it. Gorgeous also against that polka dot background.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!!
