Fireside or Window?

I created these cards last week for a Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge but failed to get it entered on time.  I still wanted to get this posted because it is one of the cards I'm offering at my Christmas Cards class next week.  

I couldn't decide if I liked the kitty better at the fireside or the window so everyone at the class can choose which they would rather make. The fireplace image was stamped on Cajun Craze cardstock.  When cutting it out I shortened the fireplace by a couple bricks because I didn't want to hang stockings from the mantle and I didn't want there to be a big empty area above the fire.  

Here is the Sweet Sunday Sketch sketch I used...

And here are my cards....

Vintage Sled

I wanted to play with my new sled die again and thought it would be fun to try a vintage look.  I remember a few years ago the Stampin' Up! catalog and overall look was very "vintagy". Vintage is not my normal style so I had to look back and get some inspiration on Pinterest with a search for the retired Deck the Halls Designer series paper.....and BAM!  There it was, tons of vintage inspiration!  I thought the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches lends it's self perfectly for my attempt at vintage.
