A couple of Challenges

It's not often that I have several cards to post in one day!  But I'm in major Christmas card mode, as well as finishing up prototypes for a card class... so I'm being quite productive.  My first card is using the Deconstructed Sketch along with the Pear & Partridge papers from Close To My Heart:
Patterned papers are Pear & Partridge; Cardstock is Olive, Cashmere & Colonial White; Stamp set is Holiday Melodies; Inks are Olive & Cranberry - all Close To My Heart;

Second up is my November Sketch For You To Try card using the Merry & Bright papers from Carta Bella.  I used the Cricut Artiste cartridge to cut the pinwheel, since it cuts 1/2 at a time - which worked perfectly for the sketch:
 
 
Patterned papers and sticker are Merry & Bright, Carta Bella; Cardstock is Topiary, Heavenly Blue & White Daisy, CTMH; Stamp set is Perfect Fit - Holiday, CTMH; Ink is Heavenly Blue; Martha Stewart punch; Cricut Artiste cartridge, CTMH.
