Goodies in the mail

I feel like it's Christmas again!  I've gotten three packages of beautiful new things to play with this week.  First was a new craft mat and a couple of stamps from Altered Pages .  Then on Monday I received my January challenge kit and several bottles of Dew Drops from The Robin's Nest.  They are my new favorite embellishment!  I made a card to enter into their blog contest.  You can make scrapbook pages, cards or mixed media projects.  I haven't scrapped in so long that I drew a blank looking at the layout, but projects aren't due until Feb. 15th so I may join that challenge, too.  And today I received my gem kit from Sakura and a couple of Terri Sproul's mixers.  I'm going to try my hand at making a couple of pendants this weekend.  What fun!  It's all part of my decision to spend more time being creative.  Here's my card for the sketch challenge.  Let me know what you think in the comments below.  I'd love to hear about your art projects, too!
