Merry Merry Merry Merry...

Hi All! Hope you have all had a Wonderful week and a very Happy Thanksgiving too! Well it's Saturday and you know what that means... It's time for another Fabulous Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge! Yay! 8-) So maybe take a little break from the Holiday Shopping frenzy and come play along with us! I had a lot of fun with Miss Korin's Awesome sketch, so great for those larger images we all love, and I had a perfect one in mind as soon as I saw this weeks sketch, Bet you will too.. 8-) So, without further delay.... Here is the Sweet Stop Sketch #136  for this week:

And here's my Merry little take on it.. 8-) I pretty much stayed spot on with Miss Korin's Fabulous Sketch..


I stamped My Darling Penny Black Jolly Xmas Kitty onto Flourishes Classic White with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored him up with my trusty Copics. I added a few emboss resist  Flourishes snowflakes.. First I embossed my snowflakes with White EP and then very lightly sponged on a bit of Tumbled Glass Distress inks over top and created my Sweet snowy scene. cut out and matted up my Sweet Jolly fellow, embossed the edges with the help of my Score Pal for a nice clean lookFor my Mats and BG layers I chose a couple of different dp's from MME's The Merry Days of Christmas 6x6 set. To finish it all up, I stamped my Impression Obsession sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black onto a matted up strip of white CS, added a touch of Stardust Stickles here and there, and a couple a layered die-namic snowflakes topped with a cute little button and all tied up with some Yummy Bakers twine from MAD Stamper Finds. 8-)
I hope you can play along with us at The Sweet Stop! Can't wait to see what you all come up with for this weeks sketch.  And as always, please, make sure to stop by and take a peek at the Wonderful creations the rest of the Sweet Stop Sugar Babies have whipped up for your inspiration.

Hope you all have a Fantastic Weekend & Thanks so much for visiting today!
