We'll be taking a little break here on Card Patterns and posting no new sketch this Saturday to allow for a little holiday break for everyone. But- we will be announcing our new Design Team members just after the new year. So I hope you'll still stop back and check with us! Don't forget you have until Friday at 11:59pm EST to participate in this week's sketch.

Merry Christmas! Sketch 96

Good morning and merry Christmas to those of you that celebrate it! It's snowy and cold here in New York- your classic Rockwell Christmas. And I consider myself lucky enough to live it! Wishing you all time with friends and family and those you love and safe travels this week. We're always glad you stop by to visit with us.



This week we're lucky to be sponsored by Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.
Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps - a two woman company comprised by Nicole La Cour, Founder and Creative Director and Mary Boesel, COO. Established in 2002, PPRS boasts hundreds of original red rubber stamp designs and has just recently started to manufacture clear stamps and coordinating dies. Our stamp collection includes a wide variety of sentiments, collage and background images and beautiful, whimsy stamps. Be sure to visit the PPRS blog which features weekly projects, techniques and tutorials blog hops and more!
PPRS is so generous that they are giving away a $25 gift certificate to 1 lucky random participant of this week's sketch.

In order to give all of our guest designers more time to create their cards each week, we have decided to post NO guest designer creations this week. Instead, we will feature Ryabinka and Annika's creations on sketch #97 next week. That way all of our future guest designers will have an extra week to create!

We're lucky to be joined by one of Prickley Pear's own DT members this week. Please welcome:

Michelle Pearson

Jane Broderick 

If Only

Getting to know Jane: 

 Hello everyone, my name is Jane and I live in a small Town on the East Coast of England. First of all I am delighted to be chosen as one of the Card Patterns Super six and asked to be a guest designer this week.

  

From a very young age my mum  taught me the joys that crafting can bring to a person, teaching me how to sew and knit. I love to incorporate sewing into my new love which is cardmaking. I have a very supportive husband and two grown up sons who have now fled the nest. I work full time and in my spare time do I spend it Ironing? Cleaning ? Polishing ?  No way -  there’s nothing more I like to do than to hide in the craft room messing about with paper !

You can click on Jane's name to go directly to her blog & find more inspiration & leave her some Christmas love!

Here's our team's interpretation of the sketch along with owner of Creative Vision (Laura).
