S & S Sketch Challenge #43

This week's sketch at the Stars and Stamps blog was a challenge. I very rarely add elements sideways but on this sketch it was that way so I made a couple cards that way too. I need to make Christmas cards as most of the ones I've made during the year were sent to the troops through Operation Write Home's card program.
I used one of my favorite stamps .. it has a snowman and a robin :) two of my favorite things to collect.
On the first card I used some SU markers to color the image. The sentiment stamp is also SU. The patterned paper is Basic Gray and the cardstock was some kraft cardstock I had on hand... added a couple buttons from my stash. The second card I colored the image with pencils, the patterned paper, cardstock and rubon sentiment are all SU
Thanks for looking!
