Hi all! And a Very Happy Sweet Stop Sketch Saturday to you too! 8-) Hope you all had a Wonderful week! Mine's been Busy Busy, but Good! 8-) Well, today I'm back with the latest Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge, Yay! And since it's the third Saturday of the Month,we have a fun spin for you too, so you know there's a Terrific prize up for grabs to one Very lucky winner! 8-) Our spin this time is "Die cuts or Punches" 8-) So without further delay, here's my take on Miss Korin's Fabulous sketch and the spin..
Well, I completely missed out on all the fun Christmas in July festivities, so I thought I would have a little bit of Christmas in August, lol 8-)... Actually you will be seeing more holiday type posts from me a bit more often as we draw closer to the holidays, I am attempting to start earlier this year, then I did last year.. lol... I printed out my Adorable SNSS Chilly Paulie image onto Flourishes Classic White and colored up this little Sweetie with my trusty Copics. I fussy cut him out and matted him up with the help of my Scallop Circles Nesties set and popped him up with a bit of foam tape. For my mats and BG layers, I chose a combination of ivory CS from my stash, some Adorable dp's from Fancy Pants Saint Nick 6x6 Collection. To finish it all up, I added a fun MFT Die-Namic Icicle border, a Darling MFT Die-Namic Let it Snowflake die cut, and glittered them both up with Stardust Stickles. I stamped my I/O Sentiment onto an MFT Die-Namic mini tabs die cut with Memento Rich Cocoa and added a bit of Fun snowflake ribbon from my stash and Voila! 8-) There you have it , My Very first Christmas card of 2012! Yay! 8-)
And Here's Miss Korin's Awesome Sketch..
