figured out today that I will have to make about two Christmas cards a day to be ready to send my cards on December 1st…I better get crafting! I used Beate’s sketch to do this one! Beate is such a sweet person! I remember when my grandfather died in February 2008 my MIL contacted Beate to send me a card since she knew it would be awesome to get a card from a stamping great like her! I didn’t know Vicki did this but I did get a gorgeous card in the mail from Beate. She didn’t have to do that but she did which speaks alot of her character! Anyway, that is my little Beate story.. 
This is the card made with this sketch
