Freshly Made Sketches #717

Hello and thanks for stopping by!  It's time for this week's Freshly Made Sketch #717 this time from Narelle! I can't wait to see how her sketch is portrayed in paper!


I ended last week with time for a little 'clean up' and found a box of unfinished
Christmas cards and a whole stack of Christmas tags made in years past
during my time with Ellen Hutson.  

do not shop for gifts anymore so why do I need gift tags?  I decided to turn them
all into Christmas cards - easier to tuck in a little something they 
really, REALLY want inside!


I love this crisp black and white with a touch of gold
and I had two tags that I combined to represent Narelle's sketch!


I 'unraveled' the twine and now it's feeling fresh and new!
There are many more to go!


Whether you find a bit of fun in your stash to 'repurpose' or start from scratch, we'll love seeing it this week's FMS717 gallery

BTW we will keep this Sketch gallery open until January 5th at 3pm EST so you have plenty of time to play along!

The black and gold are perfectly elegant, as is your card. A beautiful make using Narelle's sketch.

That's quite a fun stash you found there, Michele! I fell in love with black/white/gold for Christmas cards a few years ago and it has my heart to this day. How perfectly you worked this out with the sketch! I see a lot of quick and fabulous cards in your future!

This is wonderfully masculine, Michele! What a great way to use up those tags! Can't wait to see what you do with the tags in your box too!

What a treasure trove of EH goodness! And they're timeless elements that can be used ANYtime. I love the black and white with a touch of gold color palette. So simple and so dynamic!

What a great idea to turn those tags into money holders, Michele! This one is classic and perfect for a guy or a gal!
