Sketches in Thyme and The Kraft Outlet Creative Team

Before I introduce the Sketch and Challenge for the Tuesday Take Card Sketch challenge at Sketches in Thyme this week, I want to make an announcement about something new that is going on beginning in January... I'll be heading up (coordinating) a team of four fabulous Designers over at The Kraft Journal, which is the blog for Kraft Outlet.  To learn all about the exciting new happenings and to meet this fabulous new Creative Team... please visit The Kraft Journal today!

That said, here's another fun sketch to get you creating for this week's Sketches in Thyme challenge!  Our sponsor for this month is Charlene's Button Box and do I ever have the cutest winter snowflake buttons to show off on this card!  I adore these buttons!  You can buy your own right here. It's funny too, when I started this project, I wasn't sure how I was "feeling" this sketch.... but I am so pleased with how it inspired this card!  I hope you play along with us this week... I can't wait to see what you create using this sketch as your inspiration too!

Here is a close-up so that you can get a really good look at the buttons.  I just realized too that although I made this card (and this blog post) at the beginning of December, it won't actually reveal until AFTER Christmas... good thing the card simply reads Happy Holidays... perhaps we can pretend this is a winter/New Year holiday card?
