I've got a trio of red and green Christmas goodness today! Michele is the guest designer this week over at Muse and she's set us a fabulous challenge to make three cards using one piece of patterned paper. I have a ton of single sheets of 12x12 papers that I bought during sales over the years. This challenge was the perfect chance to wipe the dust off the pile and put that paper to use! 
For two of the cards I used sketches from other challenges to help me out. The above card uses the Designer Draft sketch from Paper Smooches Sparks.
For this card I used the current RetroSketches sketch and a Fresh Squeezed Stamps image.
This final card is not attached to a challenge but was inspired by this beauty by Lynn from The Mango Boys and Me. I'd forgotten about this Lil' Inker Stitches and Stripes Cover Up Die but dug it out after seeing Lynn's card.

Fantastic cards, all of them. Love the traditional colors, too. You and Lynn have now both reminded me of that stitched striped LID die, and I'm thinking I'd better pull mine out soon.

Ahhh Jen these are brilliant... love the red patterned paper theme running through the designs :0) Brilliant PS image to use with the paper too and great use of the sketch.
