{BYSHC} Sketch #30 Challenge

 February 1st means a new sketch for the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmaking community.  This one is sure to inspire creative ideas from your stash of supplies!

I have been itching for the chance to use a new-to-me stamp and die set from Papertrey Ink and this sketch was a great reason to pull it out.  My card uses an oval instead of the circle you see in the sketch.  
I did a little shopping after Christmas at a scrapbook store in my area.  When I visited the half off room, I  scored the holly and the "joy/comfort" paper for 50% off; the rest are scraps from my stash.  I love this Papertrey stocking set.  There are lots of little pieces, but it is so cute IRL!!  Using pinks in my card was an idea inspired by some cards from {BYSHC} teamie, Cindy Messer, last season.  I was in love with the way she used pink for this sweet CCC image and this card with an elf from A Day for Daisies caught my eye right away last March!!  

I hope you will add your card to the {BYSHC} Sketch #30 Album in the FB group.  I'd love to see how the sketch inspired you!  As for me, I am going back into the craft room to work on a second card!  Thanks for stopping by my blog!
In kindness, Cathy
