From My Heart - PPA 233 Sketch Challenge

Earlier this month I was wondering if I would have a good Christmas. I did end up having a wonderful Christmas. Because of my back problems just a few weeks before Christmas, I didn't get my tree up this year, and I love having a Christmas tree. It was different, but I still had a wonderful Christmas and was able to enjoy some time with my parents. It would have been nice to have a decorated tree, but the real meaning of Christmas was still here without it, being just as wonderful. Being with those you love, is a real huge part of Christmas. I hope that all you had a wonderful Christmas too.

Now that Christmas is over, and the preparing for it is past, it is fun to create for something else. So with a little time on my hands since I couldn't edit videos for a project I completed, I thought I would have some fun again participating in another Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge!


I took a bit of liberty with the sketch, but hope that you can still see the inspirational sketch in my design. I kept the design as is but moved the vertical strip in the sketch more toward the right and use the design in a vertical card layout instead of horizontal. Substituting the chevron strips rather than the triangles in the sketch, I think have the same effect.

The paper used for this card is a sneak peek of the Stacked With Love DSP stack from the Occasions Catalogue, while the Stamp set Groovy Love is from the Annual Catalogue.

In this next photo you can see the layers.


And here is the inside of the card, too.


So if you like my interpretation of this sketch and want to make this card too, you can see what I all used in the making of this card down below.

For the next while I will be making a few more Valentine related projects, as well as Thanks Yous and Birthdays. I'll also be getting ready for my Open House January 10th! Excited about that.

Till next time!
