Hi there! Are you having a great week? It’s all of a sudden gotten REALLY HOT here and I’m sorta melting, but luckily I have a couple of comforts to cool me down: homemade Pina Coladas, A/C in our bedroom, and Starbucks Frappuccinos. Oh yah, AND MAKING CHRISTMAS CARDS!!

In addition to this week’s sketch I played along with the current Paper Smooches Sparks challenge found here. I loved the colours (a lot of kraft) and the simplicity.. I also loved being able to pull out my Kim Hughes Christmas stamps (the deer is in one of the Paper Smooches Kismet set (Happy Camper) and the sentiment an holly are from an old CHF set..

Here is how to play:

• Create a paper crafting project (card, scrap book page or 3D item), based on the sketch provided.Post your creation on your blog or an online gallery using a code ISSC26, and link it here with the inlinkz widget below.

• A new challenge will be posted every Friday at 12:01 AM EST, and you have until noon on the following Friday EST to submit your entry.
• You may enter as many times as you like, but please provide a newly designed project with a new link for each additional project.
• We will choose the top 2 creations to be featured in our "Top 2 Winners" post every Sunday where we will announce who we have picked :) The winners will receive their very own iSpy Sketches blog badge!
• Don't forget that you may combine our challenges with others and use supplies from any company that you wish :)
