Featured in the newsletter each month, The Shaker Box will highlight a sketch created by Mickey McGowan that is based on a design from one of our designers. This month's sketch is courtesy of Mickey and involves wonderful patterned paper with ribbon and small accents.
We hope these layouts inspire you to look at sketches in new and different ways than before! Remember, you can turn the sketch sideways or even upside down. Just use your imagination! Here are just some of this month's layouts using the sketch to the right.

Christmas Quotes:
-
Christmas is a strange season. We sing
songs in front of dead trees and eat
candy out of our socks.
-
It is good to be children sometimes and never better than at Christmas.
-
In the eyes of children we find the joy of Christmas. In their hearts we find its meaning.
-
Never worry about the size of your
Christmas tree. In the eyes of children,
they are all 30 feet tall.
The aging process has you firmly
in its grasp if you never get the
urge to throw a snowball.
-
A snowflake is one of God's most fragile creations,
but look what they can do when they stick together!
-
Snowmen fall from the sky unassembled.
-
What do snowmen eat for breakfast? Snowflakes!!
Winter Poems:
When Santa visits us this year,
He'll see we've done our part,
We'll leave him milk,
Some yummy treats,
And original works of art!
God grant you the light in Christmas
which is faith;
the warmth of Christmas, which is love;
the radiance of Christmas, which is purity;
the righteousness of Christmas, which is justice;
the belief in Christmas, which is truth;
the all of Christmas, which is Christ.
