The Global Design Project has a sketch challenge this week
That circle just screamed the Santa and reindeer from the Hearts Come Home new set from this year's Winter Catalogue. I only have the stamps - not the framelits to go with it but this set can still be used without them.
I used the little dots from the set to create the snow effect and used white embossing powder. Stitched framelits were used for the circles and the Be Merry Designer Series Paper from the main catalogue. The gorgeous ribbon is Double Stitched Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler. The sentiment and the tree is from the same set and was also embossed with White Embossing Powder.
There is lots of inspiration over at the challenge blog - do pop along and be inspired!
Watercooler Wednesday
Sadly I had to relinquish my Design Team position at Watercooler Wednesday but that doesn't mean I can't still join in with their challenges and this week it's Marsha doing a Christmas Challenge. Pop along to the Challenge and have a look at the fabulous work the DT do.
I'm therefore adding this card in to Marsha's Challenge also.
HAPPY CRAFTING

Fiona so happy to see you play along this week! Whoo Hoo! Love your fun take on the sketch with the Santa and reindeer flying through that circle. You're right it was perfect. The little dots for the snow are a great touch too! Awesome card, thanks for playing along with us this week at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.
Hi Fiona, what a great card! September is NOT too early for Christmas cards if one is trying to get sufficient made to send out. Love the way you've mixed the Designer paper with your stamped background. Santa flying through that circle is great fun and perfect for the sketch. Love that double stitched ribbon you've added---such a pretty touch. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday Challenge! I love seeing your work. I start working on Christmas cards in September! Great sketch and card.
Really lovely card Fiona. The combination of colours is great - very traditional. Lovely to see you playing along. Thank you for joining us at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge - Charlotte/Lady Joyful, DT
