Hello!  I hope your weekend has gotten off to a good start!  If you’re in the United States, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Because it’s a fifth Saturday of the month, this week at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown we have a “Pick a Previous” challenge for you.  Jacqueline, our challenge hostess, is asking us to choose a previous 52{C}CT sketch for our inspiration this time.  You can find the previous sketches in the “sketches archive” tab at the 52{C}CT website.

I decided to revisit the May 2013 sketch.  Back then I used an embossing folder on the background with a deep, rich color scheme and made a card without a sentiment on the front.  Today’s card is kind of the opposite.  I’ve used designer paper with a pastel color scheme, and the sentiment is the main focus of the card.  Without any further ado, here it is…

Which sketch will you pick?  There are over 30 from which to choose, so have fun deciding!  Then be sure to share your card with us at the 52{C}CT site by 1:00 p.m. Eastern time Friday, December 5.  Thanks for stopping by today!
