cas(e) this sketch and festive friday

I can't believe it is November already, the months are flying past !
This weekend I met up with a friend that I started school with 50 years ago omg did I just say 50 ????...its not only the months that are flying by!!:-),she was one of my bridesmaids and she moved to Winnipeg 27 years ago,worked and married over there but comes home to see her mum once every two years ,but what surprises me is that we always just take up from where we left off and we had such a good time that we both felt quite tearful saying good bye :-(

So what is a girl gonna do to cheer herself up ...make cards of course!

As you can see I am combining two challenges with one card ,had been really struggling with the Festive Friday photo inspiration this time.Think I couldn't see past the presents and then when I saw the sketch for CAS(E) this sketch, it was a light bulb moment.Think this sketch is going to be used a lot -  I love it ..there is endless possibilities!
This was one of those cards that evolved as I went a long ,sketch first then colours from photo and when I spotted the bauble the rest was history as they say! There was meant to be a bow on top of the bauble to match the bows in the pic - but I lost the stamp it slipped out of my hand and no amount of searching has made it turn up ,but if I do will make another one with the bow and post it.
Thanks for taking a look hope you've had a great weekend!
