This week's sketch over at Just Christmas and Birthday Cards is by Amanda. I must admit to being really glad that they are posting their challenges fortnightly for July and August - otherwise I certainly wouldn't have made the deadline!I got the idea of using the tree from Thoughts & Prayers on a Christmas card from Paula over at Precioso Designs. I haven't followed the sketch exactly but I'm pleased with the final card I ended up with, it's not traditional but I think that's one reason I like it.
The tree has been embossed with white EP and the DPs are from Ski Slope - appearing in our Spring Mini from August 1st! The other images are from Winter Post.
I was checking out how many Christmas cards I have made already thanx to fabulous challenges like this one - I'm really happy to know I've made a GREAT start and hope I'll actually be organised this year - a first for me - LOL.

Beautiful Xmas card Debbie. Love that embossing! That little dear is sooo cute. Great choice of paper. I've gotta check out that challenge. Xmas cards are calling me:))
Drop dead gorgeous again! Wow the white embossed tree on the pink is so striking. My embossing always ends up in a mess, how did you do it without all the sprinkles of embossing everywhere? Love that little trinket in the corner too, what a lovely finishing touch. Just gorgeous! Hugs, Dena
I love your idea of embossing straight on to patterned paper. Such a pretty card. As always I'll look forward to seeing it IRL!!!
Debbie, this is totally totally beautiful!!! I just love the idea of embossing on the paper and yes that striped paper is gorgeous! Love the sketch you used too.
Lovely Debbie! Great job!
I added the DSP, took it out, added it, took it out, added it took it out, lol and didn't get it. So after seeing this, you know what's going to happen and it's all your fault for making such a GORGEOUS card! Love it xx

Oh this is fabulous Debbie, the papers are gorgeous and I love the design
First off, a little birdie told me (this would be Lisa!)... "It's Your Birthday!" :) Enjoy your special day and birthday fun... have some nice pampering time!
Your card is fantastic Debbie! LOVE the DP's, and the Thought and Payers tree is perfect... another fabulous idea from you! :)
Firstly Happy Birthday for yesterday:) Love the card, like how you have embossed onto the patterned paper, will have to give this a goX:)
Yummy! I LOVE the way you used the tree for this card... and embossing was definitely the way to go. And I love the sentiment placed in HPH. Bravisimo!
I'm jealous. I haven't done a single Christmas card. I seem to always run out of time and buy mine.
Hugs dear girl!
