Virtual Card Making Party - Challenge 1

Over Labor Day weekend, Operation Write Home (OWH) hosted a Virtual Card Making Party (VCMP).  During the weekend, they posted challenges to get your card making mojo going, learn a few new techniques, and most importantly, make cards for the heroes that serve this country.

I wasn't able to participate over the weekend.  However, the challenges are still open this week and I really wanted to play along.  Here is the first challenge (posted by Nancy Keller at Scrap Happens):

"My challenge is to make a winter or Christmas themed card for OWH following a sketch!"

Here is my card.  The squares are cut at 1".  This was a fun technique.  It uses up scraps and creates a nice layout for the card.
