Saturday Sketch Challenge 12/10

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!!  We had our office Christmas Party last night at Grace in Ft. Worth.  It is the most beautiful restaurant and we had a private room.  It was soooo much fun and the food was the best!!!!  It's finally getting cold here and I am back among the living after a week of an awful attack of what we call "Cedar Fever" (from the people down Austin way).  I am terribly allergic to cedar and this time of year with all the live trees out I always get an awful sinus infection!!!  Three days in my jammies (one with no cable because our backyard neighbors decided to disconnect us and connect themselves!!!) and I am feeling much better!  Today we have rehearsal for our church choir's annual presentation of the Christmas portion of Handel's Messiah.  We will perform it Sunday evening at Arlington Heights United Methodist Church on Camp Bowie in Ft. Worth at 7pm.  If you love classical music I invite you to attend!!!!!  So now on to my card for the week!  Here's the sketch:

and here's my card:

Supplies:

This card was done entirely with a base of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and paper and embellishments from the Christmas Lane Simply Scrappin' Kit from the Holiday Mini.  It's a quick and easy card which is the best kind of Christmas Card!  I hope you enjoy!
