It is Thursday which means it is time for the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge.  This week it is a sketch challenge.  I like that the challenge alternates between color and sketch challenges.

I created this sample a few weeks ago and at that time the Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper was still available for purchase.  It is now sold out.

Along with the Joyous Noel DSP I used the Snowfall Thinlits dies to cut out the Copper Foil snowflakes.  Remember the Snowfall Thinlits are only available in November or while supplies last.  The sentiment is from the Merry Christmas to All stamp set.  The gorgeous ribbon is the Merry Merlot & Copper Reversible ribbon.    What makes this ribbon so special is that one side is Merry Merlot and the other is  Merry Merlot with a coppery sheen.  

I decided to make another card using patterned paper that was still available for purchase.

This patterned paper is called Under the Mistletoe and can be found in the annual catalog. I cut out the snowflakes using the Snowfall thinlits and the Sparkle Glimmer paper.  The sentiment is from the Snow is Glistening stamp set.  This stamp set that coordinates with the Snowfall thinlits and is available in November or while supplies last.

Now it is time to check out what the other designers created using this sketch.  Go to the Create with Connie and Mary blog and check out the challenge!
