High Hopes Challenge 9 - Sketch by Ila!

This week over at the High Hopes Challenge blog we have the below great sketch for you to follow designed by the very talented Ila. Thanks Ila.. I loved working with this sketch! One randomly chosen person each week will win a yummy stamp prize! For my card this week I have used the stamps Milton's fresh pine and the very apt sentiment "Merry Kiss-Moose"! I just love the Christmas Bottle Capz by Dovecraft and these along with the PM Adhesive stones can be purchased from Silly Monkey Crafts.

Have a great Sunday!
Hugs,
