Time for the Create with Connie & Mary Thursday Challenge. This week it is a sketch challenge.

Ready for another fun blog hop? This month the Stamper's Dozen blog hop theme is a color challenge. I just received my Holiday catalog pre-order (one of the perks of being a demonstrator, you get to pre-order!) and I was itching to play with something new.
