SCS Sketch #SC1136

I have been part of the Sketch team on Splitcoaststampers for a few years now. Whether it's my week to create the sketch (the first Wednesday of each month) or I'm creating a sample card based on the sketch someone else created, I find that having a sketch to use can get my creative ideas flowing. 

There is a new sketch to work with every Wednesday. I encourage you to check them out.

Lisa created this week's sketch - #SC1136:

3M Yule Always Be In My Heart

Kelly, Barb, and I have been creating together as the Three Musketeers every month since November 2014. We all three create a card using the same image. I always enjoy seeing how different our cards are, even though we use the same image. This is one of my favorite posts of the month. 

We take turns choosing what stamp will be used. This month it was my turn. I chose the Spellbinders House Mouse Tree-Mendous Christmas stamp set.

It has been determined that this will be the last year of this series, so this was my last time to choose what we used. I think the image is adorable, but I really chose this set because one of the sentiments expresses my thoughts about Barb and Kelly -- Yule always be in my heart. You two are the best!

Be sure to check out Barb's and Kelly's cards, too...
