Freshly Made Sketches #609

Every Christmas I MUST make a mitten card!  Here's one using my 'letter to Santa' self-made paper and a very old set from MFT.  I've used this week's FMS#609 Sketch from Judy as a guide... with a bit of tweaking...


Hope you like it as it was a treat to make - and I giggle every time I read my letter!

Love your tradition of making a mitten card. This is so fun and cozy. You must have had a blast creating that background letter! Love the vibrance of the red against the crispness of the white!

I love the big bold red. From first glance, the mittens looked like a huge red heart ... I must need more coffee. LOL!

Love, love, love this, Michele! Bold, cute mittens and that sweet letter... even the sweet little cuff "buttons" on the mittens

What a cute and delightful mitten card, Michele! I love that you used the letters to Santa as a backdrop for the mittens and inserted a white oval ring in between. Those black thin strips make great accents in the red and white elements!

This is a cute cute mitten card, and once again I'm reminded of a mitten die I have and would love to use again. I read the peeking bits of your letter to Santa. What fun!

I haven't made a mitten card yet this year but you've just inspired me to get out my dies, Michele. I love the idea of a handwritten note for the background. Fun card.
