I added the dimensions for the sketch again for those who like them, but feel free to make it your own. We're just here for inspiration. :)  For my card, I used the new Santa & Coffee DIGITAL Set and a sprig of holly from the Good Cheer DIGITAL set. Doesn't the sentiment make you giggle.  Sometimes when I'm cranky I tell the boys there wasn't enough coffee.  LOL
