Verena has a wonderful sketch and fabulous inspiration for us at Freshly Made Sketches #712... here is her sketch - but you'll have to stop by our challenge blog to see her darling card!
As I see all the goodness for Christmas being posted by my friends, I'm reminded of a few of my 'regulars' that I didn't make an appearance this year.
For instance - my mittens!!
Verena's sketch presented the perfect time for them...
These oldie-but-goodie dies aren't available any longer but are well loved. From Winnie & Walter: Noel and Ellen Hutson's Pop-Up Mittens.
I cut Verena's left side border panel from a deep navy card stock and popped my white NOEL up on dimensional foam. The bright red mittens were cut from EH felt and I used white
yarn to embellish them and to tie a band around the panel that was debossed with Waffle Flower Crafts' Dashed Snowflake cover die. A few
white snowflakes and my work playtime was complete!
You have until Monday, November 17th at 3 pm EST to play along - plenty of time to make seconds if you have a mind to! Okay - off you go to see all the inspiration one could ask for from the FMS team!

ADORABLE! Love those bright red mittens and the NOEL with the snowflake in place of the "O"...pretty fitting for this week in our neck of the woods, huh?! Sweet card Michele and perfect take on the sketch!! Hugs. :0)
Best card ever! I have to say, that while you have many great cards, this is one of the sweetest, favorite ones to date! Love it!!!
Those mittens look so warm and cosy cut from felt and I love the texture it gives alongside the yarn x
Oh, those cozy mittens have finally made their appearance! LOVE them in red felt and those trimmings add such a nice touch.
How fun! You might be needing this mittens, as cold as it has been lately! I love that Noel die, too bad it's no longer available! Love your sweet color combo too---as well as the FELT! ♥
Darling card, Michelle. Thanks for the inspiration!
Your sweet red woolen mittens looks warm and cozy! This is super cute!
I LOVE these wooly red mittens, Michele! The white trim makes them extra special and I love the side treatment of the sentiment!
I wouldn't mind a pair of mittens like that. My set hasn't been out in a while either, Michele, but I'm sure glad you pulled yours out. Love that sentiment die too.
How comfy cozy!
Your warm woolly mittens are so sweet cut out of felt. The navy blue with the pretty "noel" and embossed snowflakes make the perfect landing spot for these delightful mittens.
Sweet card. Love the red felt mittens with the yarn trim. The Dashed Snowflake background is perfect with them. The navy panel with the pretty noel die cut is very striking.
OMGosh, so cute! The white noel on navy is beautiful, and the mittens are darling! It's all so soft and cozy with the felt and the yarn. I LOVE it!
Oh this is smashing. Love the deep blue and the bright red mittens with all your "snow" whiteness. Fab.
These little bright red mittens are adorable Michele! The wonderful bold colour blocks make this a real stand out!! I just love it! :)
Fabulous Michele - that big bold sentiment and those sweet felt mittens are the best!
