Seizing the sketch...

Hi there!

When I saw the new challenge site Seize the Sketch I knew I wanted to play along (you know how I love sketches!). Here's their first sketch...


When I saw it I knew I wanted to use some new goodies that are coming in our Autumn/winter catalogue at the end of this month, so I got into Christmas mode and came up with this...


The new goodies are that amazing 'merry' die (so much fun!) and the designer paper. I added some baubles from the fab Ornament set that carried over from the last Autumn/Winter catty. I'm a bit addicted to candy dots so I couldn't help adding some of those!

Well I'm keeping it short and sweet today. Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July!

Hiya!

This week the Friday Mashup is getting festive with a challenge from Lisa...

Here's your Mashup Challenge:
  1. Create a project for "Christmas / Hanukkah".
  2. Create a project with "Stripes".
  3. Or Mash it Up and create a "Christmas / Hanukkah project with Stripes".

The stripes bit of this challenge had me thinking because I don't have a lot of the new dsp yet and none of the stuff I do have has stripes in it so I thought maybe I could use the stripes embossing folder, but I wasn't feeling it! I eventually found a piece of the Naturals Composition paper that has a stripe on it, looked up Baked Brown Sugar in the colour coach (which I think is closer to the NC paper than Crumb Cake), found a Christmas combo and was good to go!


I used the ornaments from Ornament Keepsakes, stamped with Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler, strung them together with linen thread and then layered a ticket greeting over the top. That panel was layered on Champagne glimmer paper then onto Garden Green card. The Cherry Cobbler panel in the background is core'dinations card that I embossed and sanded. I couldn't resist adding some of the lush new chevron ribbon in Pear Pizzazz!

I used the Mojo Monday sketch to help me on this one...


Make sure you check out the other Christmassy creations from the rest of the design team!

Thanks for stopping by...
