New challenge blog!

When checking out an amazing blog (awesome coloring inspiration!)  I follow by Pam Sparks...I found she is on the dt for this new challenge blog called Christmas challenges (with sketches).  I think this blog is a great idea since it gives us all a chance to get going on our Christmas cards!  I got a few really cool stamped images from a friend from Crafty Secrets and decided to use this cool Santa.  I followed the sketch and colored him with copics, did a little sewing on the edges, and put together my first card for Christmas!

Thanks for looking and take a peek over there and get ready for Christmas!  :)
