The Fan Club Christmas Spirit challenge for November was an inspiration challenge-The photo was a picture of a pine cone wreath. You were to be inspired by the pine cones, brown and white or the wreath.
Yes, I'm a bit late getting mine made for Nov.
Today's sketch challenge shows an A2 card but I went with a square. I did the same design, though.
I stamped my kraft paper with pine cones and pine. My image was sponged in the center, dots added, and I popped up two of the large pine cones.

Benz, great job on the challenge. I've been wanting to do a pinecone card for a long time, but don't have a stamp or diecut for it. I'll have to be on the lookout for next year. Love your background too.

Oh, Brenda, this is beautiful! Your pinecones are lovely, and I agree that the yellow shading is a lovely touch! Good for you for finishing the November challenge! I am still behind but hope to catch up and start fresh in 2015! Warm hugs, sweet friend!

Such a pretty card. The way you've stamped the background is great. I love the way you've framed the sentiment with the rows of pine cones. Fun to have a couple popped up too.
