retrosketches #44...

Good morning! Did you have a wonderful Christmas? Or Hanukkah?  We had a wonderful holiday, I worked my last day at work, celebrated my 40th birthday.... whew! I'm looking forward to being a SAHM, getting caught up on laundry and all things crafty - so watch out!

The sketch today is based on this little card I made recently. Here's my re-take...

And from the other FABULOUS DT members...

Laurie 

Kasia

Brandi

***P.S. The DT has taken over the blog to wish Arielle a very Happy Birthday and to surprise her with a few birthday cards from us. It would be extra fun if you could use the sketch to make a fun birthday card for her too (but not required)!

Happy Birthday Arielle - From Laurie, Kasia and Brandi!!!

Good morning! I hope you're having a wonderful holiday season! As a nation, I know yesterday was rough. My thoughts and prayers are with the families that suffered such a senseless tragedy. I'm home with sick kids... we were up until 5 this morning! But I'd much rather them be ill this weekend rather than the next...

Our sketch today is by Laurie, her original card is so elegant! And her re-take is just gorgeous....

Here is inspiration from the rest of the DT...

Time to get inky!

Good morning! Are you ready for a new sketch? Sorry I'm lagging this morning, but the good news is I did get caught up on announcing some winners, so if you haven't seen those posts, check them out!

Today's sketch is based on this card by me! I really shrank it today and used washi for my background blocks. I hope you have fun with it!

And from our DT...

We are also thrilled to announce December's RETROsketch Headliner, Brandi Hall, of Yankee Belle Stamper. I have known of her for a long time, seeing her in challenges around blogland, and have ALWAYS been impressed with her style! It's going to be so fun having her with us this month! I know she'll inpsire you as much as she does me!

And here's Brandi's take on today's RETROsketch....
