Louise is the hostess this month and she has a super sketch for us:
I decided that this sketch called for some lovely Christmas papers and this is my card:
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Festive Foliage; Love Santa (free with Cardmaking & Papercraft); SU - More Merry Messages
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Real Red, Old Olive
Dies: Spellbinders - Marvellous Squares (S4-383) #4 & 5; WMS - Festive Foliage cut on Cameo
Accessories: Kaisercraft - Christmas Paper (free with Simply Cards & Papercraft); Gold satin card, cream lustre card, ribbon and gems from stash

For the inside of the card I used another piece of plum paper for the mat and on the cream card I stamped some more holly and berries as a very simple sentiment.
Do check out the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown blog, as I know that the rest of the team have some wonderful inspiration cards to share with you. Looking forward to seeing your lovely cards.
That's all for now - I'm off out today at some crafting classes in Northville with the fabulously talented Amy Flowers - I'll share photos later this week!

Yippee!! I'm so happy for you, Deborah! You put a lot of work and care into your card and it's amazing!!
Oh very well done - "when one door closes another one opens" comes to mind.
Love the way you've decorated the inside - striking & classy. Hope you have fun at the crafting session.

So happy for you, Deborah. A well deserved honour, for sure. I like how you pieced the background here, and the WMS foliage. :-)
I love the gold frame showcasing the focal panel of the card! The designer papers are great, too.
I have to admit I did some "Tigger bouncing" when I received that email, too! :)
