October Afternoon Sketch

This morning I got October Afternoons post sharing their Thursday Sketch and was so inspired I wanted to give it a try.

Here is the sketch this week....

I like the funky off-kilter lines.

So, it just so happens that I took advantage of a few of the Black Friday (on line) sales and bought two different October Afternoon paper pads... Make it Merry and Silent Night.

I pulled them out, made my template ~ I didn't down load the original sketch, I just winged it and made my own.

and I made a couple cards....

The "Jolly" gem is actually from the Glitz line but I thought it matched well.

and

The Santa is from the paper pad, the gems are just something I had in my stash.

I thought the black pearls played well against the white pearls.

Do you have a favorite blog with sketches?

I don't play along very often because I don't take the time but sometimes it's fun for a change of pace.
