Joy Flamingo Christmas Card

This is for Sketch Saturday #492 and the sponsor is Sasayaki Glitter.  The image is called Winter Flamingos and actually has three images.  After looking at sketch #492,  I decided I wanted to use only one large flamingo and cut the other two away when I was "fussy cutting."  This was a fun card to make!  This big pink bird is going to be linking up at:

Sketch Saturday #488 Owl Card

It is time for another Sketch Saturday and today's sponsor is Lemon Shortbread.  This card is for Sketch #488 and my image is Owl On Branch (found here).  I loved working with today's sketch.  This is one that has unlimited potential.  The layout is perfect for a pretty image and sentiment plus the star element on the sketch could be a variety of things.  (I'm going to do this sketch with a snowman scene and put a snowflake where the star is too.  I'm full of ideas and not enough time!  Wink.)  This pretty and wise owl is going to be linking up to: Sketch Saturday
