Retro Sketches #42



Hey friends,

Well it's the weekend and I am so excited to be done with Christmas to-dos! Shopping - done, Christmas cards - done and wrapping - done. Now I can sit back and enjoy the week leading up to the holidays. What's on your agenda this weekend?

I wanted to pop in to share a card I made for the latest Retro-Sketches challenge #42. I kept things pretty simple with some fabulous patterned paper and a little bird sticker from Martha Stewart's craft line. What do you think?

I hope you can play along! You can see the other DT's fabulous creations and original card that inspired the sketch over at the Retro Sketches blog!
