Hey all!
I can't believe it's Tuesday again and time for another Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge! I am happy to bring you another sample using an AWESOME quote from our December Sponsor, StampInsanity.
This quote comes from the stamp set, "Morgan's Star". When I saw this quote I was actually with my good pal Mercy and the quote actually brought a little tear to my eye. What a beautiful sentiment:
"Love is what's in the room with you at CHRISTMAS, if you stop opening presents and listen..." ~7 year old Bobby
Can I just TELL you how moving that is? I love it, and had to use it as Christmas is only FOUR days away! I can't believe it.
Here's the awesome MTSC53:
I hope you'll play along with us this week! Just be sure to visit Mercy's blog and link up your creation w/ the wonderful and cheery Mr. Linky :) Here is my sample:
My stitching is CRAZY crooked, I admit. I am still a heck of a novice on the sewing machine and well, the only way I'm gonna master it and not ruin/waste a TON of paper is if you guys keep putting up with my ridiculousness...but I'll get it some time. I guess I have off and on days, cuz if you look at THIS card it was a lot better, LOL!!! And, I used an oval instead of a circle cuz you know me, I'm always bending the rules :)
Want to see MORE inspiration? Check out the wonderful samples from all of the Muses:
and our DECEMBER Guest Muse, my girl Jessie Rone!
Well, I'll be back tomorrow with a card from The Greeting Farm's 12 Days of Sketches! See you back here then!
xoxo

This is gorgeous girl and I love the way you used the sentiment as the main image panel. Love it!! Your sewing is great girl. Completely straight does not look home-made in my book, at least that's what I tell myself when all mine are crooked. LOL!! Love your beautiful card girlfriend. Hugs!!
