Challenge #149 - Sparkle It Up

Well, it is the last day of 2013.  It has been a busy year for most of us.  I know I have not had the time I want to devote to my art so my resolution is to make more time for myself.  What is yours?
I also want to allocate more time to this site and make it even better for 2014.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Our sketch this week is another one courtesy of Sarah.  And the twist is to sparkle it up - if you want.

And here are the creations by our team:

Beautiful cards, ladies!

Now it is your turn.  I am so looking forward to seeing what you create.

Happy New Year!!

Challenge #147 Top 3

Hi everyone!
Just a note to say there will be no top 3 this week.  We only had four entries so it would be unfair to showcase three and leave only one out.
Thanks to those of you who took the time during this busy season to participate.
Merry Christmas!

Challenge #148 - Use Wood or Woodgrain

Merry Christmas to all!
I hope your day is happy and you enjoy this time with family and friends.
Can you imagine my horror?  I went to post a note about the top 3 and I noticed that I simply forgot to post this week's challenge.
Here it is ....a day late.
Here is the sketch:

The twist (if you choose to use it) is to add wood or woodgrain to your card.
And here are the cards from the team:

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time from this busy season to craft with us.  I cannot wait to see your creations.
