Seeking Vintage


***Please scroll down for my Season's Giving Blog Hop post.***


Back to the daily grind again as the holidays come to a close...eight hours of sitting at a desk doesn't have the same appeal as sleeping in, shopping or spending time with the extended family. I hope you and yours started 2013 in a good way.


The January Artful Delight Kits were announced yesterday and as usual, both are jam packed with goodies! My card today features one of the many patterned papers and embellishments from the Card Kit, in fact, the only items not from the kit are the stamped sentiment, twine and dies! 


I chose to feature the January Artful Delight Card Sketch as well, be sure to link your project the follows the card or scrapbook layout sketch up for your chance to win a feature Artful Delight kit!
