Have a Holly Jolly Christmas..

Hi All! And a very Happy Saturday to you!  Hope you all had a Fantastic week! Believe it or not, it's been a busy but fun one for me.. I know it may not look that way since I have not posted anything since last Saturday, lol but I promise, you will get to see what I've been working on in the next few days.. 8-) Well, today I'm back with another Super Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge. Yay! And continuing on with our Bast from the Past sketches for the Month of October we have Sweet Stop Sketch #130 for you that was originally The Sweet Stop Sketch # 26! And as this is the Third Saturday of the month, we have a fun Spin too, which means there's a $10 SNSS GC up for grabs to one very lucky winner!  How Cool is that! you can use it on anything you'd like! 8-) Our spin is "Let's Recycle" So make sure to incorporate some recycling into your card/creation and join in the fun!...8-)  So, without further delay.... Here is the Sweet Stop Sketch #130  for this week:

And here's my Festive Christmasy take on it.. 8-)

I printed out my Sweet little Rhubarb Santa image onto Flourishes Classic White and colored him up with my trusty Copics and added a little liquid applique to his Cute little Santa Hat. I fussy cut him out and popped him up with a few dimensional onto a  layered Classic Circles Nestie die cut that was left over from a project from last Christmas, I knew I would find a way to use this in a future creation. Yay! 8-) I matted up my layered classic Circle with the help of my Scalloped Circles Nestie set and some Basic Grey Wassail dp's. For the rest of my mats and BG layers I chose a combination of Kraft CS from my stash and another left over matted up BG panel also from last Christmas, and also using Basic Grey Wassail dp's. Sure wish I had got more than one pack of this set. It's still one of my all time favorite Christmas dp's, also probably the reason I refused to get rid of any left overs or scraps.. lol. My I/O Sentiment pieces were actually cut out of a scrap of stamped CS that I used for a bit of BG on a previous project from, you guessed it, last Christmas, lol.  To finish it all up, I added some Sweet crochet flowers from MAD Stamper Finds all  topped off with a few Sweet vintage pearl brads from my stash.

Here are a couple pics of the inside, as this is another Gift card holder too.. You could also use it to hold Tea bags, or a pack of Cocoa or even Sweet Ghirardelli Chocolate squares as well..

  

Anyway, 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 Beautiful creations the rest of the Sweet Stop Sugar Babies have whipped up for your inspiration. Leave them a little Love too 8-)... I know it's not a requirement, but it sure is  greatly Appreciated.... 8-)
