Well I am posting a bit early because I need to get some sleep. I will do my sample cards tomorrow, because I didnt have time today. Make one or all four. It is up to you.. the only rule is to follow as closely as you want, post your cards to share and have FUN. sketch #1- I would love to see a cricut cart border on this card. There are quite a few carts that contain them now. To locate them, you can go to www.mycutsearch.com and type in borders  Sketch #2  sketch #3 would love to see the main cut on this one popped up.  EXTRA CREDIT.. need more Christmas cards?  Have a great time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunnie - Great sketches and thanks for the push to use boarders, I quite often look at them and wonder what I'd use them for as they only come out about 5 1/2 inches. Well I'll give it a go.
Dee lovely ad colours.

Sunnieday - Card #1 is very pretty, like the lacey frame, colors and matching pearls. Card #2, nice color combo and yellow center. Like the barely-there BG paper. Card #3, very nice in the AC, like the Happy Birthday in a half circle and cute butterfly accent.
cstanzione - Card #1 is very pretty, love the gold shiney frame and how the border cut looks like crosses. Nice shading on the Dove and the BG paper is well suited for this special card
NanaDonna - Sorry we had to miss the big engagement announcement at the dinner, bet she was surprised! And, sure he was so happy to see everyone. Enjoy his visit, cause the days will fly by sooooooo fast.
BingoLady - Card #1, like the embossing on the sides and on the border, nice Thank You tag and in the AC, too! Card #2 is cute, like the eyes and gold "buttons"on the little skier. Like the BG paper (I have it, also) Where's everyone!!!!!!??????
Yes, it's a very busy time of the year, but Sunnie took time from her busy schedule to post us some very nice and simple Sketches, PLEASE, let's show her how much we appreciate it. (SORRY, I JUST HAD TO VENT!!)Edited by user Sunday, December 18, 2011 9:05:05 PM(UTC)

Here is my #2 Sketch Card:
Sentiment - "Stamping" Cartridge
Butterfly - "Home Decor" Cartridge
Top Border - Cut from a full sheet of printed paper
Background Paper - DCWV "Rustic Stack"
Added a "gold" gem to the butterfly and shadowed it with gold glitter cardstock. The sentiment "HOPE" is also in gold glitter cardstock, unfortunately it doesn't show very well, but I love the way it shows up in person. TFL!! TurtleBug attached the following image(s):

Sunnie - thanks so much for hosting this week, I know you're flat-out busy as we all are at this time of year with the Christmas steamroller rushing towards us and gathering speed!... ...I've printed out the sketches but doubt that I'll have time for any crafting at all over the next week or two, sorry... ...and just in case I don't manage to get onsite again before the festivities I'd like to wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY and PROSPEROUS NEW YEARIzzy Edited by user Monday, December 19, 2011 4:04:12 AM(UTC)

Hello everyone... I'm leaving for my cruise in a few hours and I get back on the 24th...
... in case I don't get a chance to log on
SandyPalmer is going to host for us this coming Wednesday... however, since it is Christmas week, if you decide not to host and instead give everyone a week break and host the week after that instead, I don't mind and I doubt anyone else would mind either
We'll leave this decision up to you! I'll try to play when I get back. Thanks Sandy!
BingoLady: LOVE the embossed borders on the first card, that caught my eyes right away... very pretty card. Ski man is very cute and LOVE LOVE the googly eyes
sunnieday: wonderful job on the Eagle books... very professional!
*NanaDonna*: thanks for sharing the picture... what a happy moment
Turtlebug: this is so cute! My daughter would absolutely go bananas for this... she LOVES everything chimp. The print up top matches the embossed paper below so perfectly. Great card! Very elegant butterfly card. I really like the single jewel. Beautiful tag card... LOVE everything flower, so you hit my weakness here
AcrossThePond: WOW! Beautiful set of Christmas cards. LOVE that embossed Christmas tree... I'll have to find that for myself. Cute cute Santa card... LOVE all the glitter Edited by user Monday, December 19, 2011 5:11:13 AM(UTC)
