Hi Everyone
I hope you are all well and coping with the way the world is at the moment.
Yesterday saw us put Christmas back into the roof .. .. boo hoo .. .. everywhere is now looking very bare and dull. Sigh!!
So to cheer myself up I created my first new sketch for 2021 - Sketch Fifty One
and I used it to create this:
This used:

I also spent some time searching until I found the YouTube video which inspired me to make Tuesday's card. I got so many lovely comments and emails about it that it didn't feel right not to find the lady who shared her video in the first place .. .. and here it is

So that is me for today.
I am off to link up to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the theme is always "anything goes" and this month it has an optional theme of "something new". So that will be my "new sketch".
If you would like to see my other sketches there is a tab at the top of my blog called "my sketch vault" .. .. .. if you want to use any of them then please feel free to do so.
Enjoy the rest of your day. Hope you can find some crafty time and mojo ... ... which lots of folk are currently saying has gone on walkabouts! Must be a sign of the times.
Take care and stay safe.

Hi Jules,
A brilliant sketch and love the image. I thought I recognised the backing paper and I have that paper pad too.
I was sad when all the decorations and the tree, went in their boxes and back into the loft. The rooms look boring and with the weather dark and miserable, constant rain, it felt very dull.
So I am having fun with my Needle Felting, making animals and fairies. Well that is what they are supposed!!
Stay safe and keep well.
Love and big hugs,
Carol.

A lovely sketch and you've made a gorgeous card with it. Thank you for sharing your sketches xx
What a great sketch chosen for this fun card! I just love the papers and colors you chose to put this together, and that darling image just quacks me up! Well done! Even though all the decorations have come down, I hope you had a great Christmas and will have a better 2021 than the previous year. Thanks for all the love you share with your comments - it means a lot :)
You are ahead of me on the Christmas decor being put away Jules. I will be doing that this weekend. It does look empty after we take down the decor. But I will go right into Valentines, so that will help. Look at you, another sketch! And a fabulous one at that!! Love how your card turned out with this sketch. Love the papers you used and of course that cute image, you have colored him up so cute! Love his speech bubble, it just makes me smile and God knows we need reasons to smile these days. Hugs, Brenda
Wonderful card. Hope all is well. Anesha
