Sending you some Christmas Cheer! Happy Holidays!

For this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches, i hope that you all have the Happiest of Holidays!  This challenge is being sponsored by Melissa, owner of Tuesday Morning Sketches!


 Here is my card, please come and join us at Tuesday Morning Sketches for this TWO week challenge:



I choose this sketch for this two week challenge because i had made up the card extra for this challenge and it didn't get used.  Seeing as DT card makers don't get vacation (sometimes) this is allowing me to have a real two week vacation.
