This week
Jingle Belles challenge blog has a sketch...a great one too; you can keep it CAS or embellish away. I chose to pull out
My Mind's Eye "Lost & Found Christmas" papers and stickers that I purchased last year at
Shop Pumpkin Spice. I layered the Christmas Trees paper on early espresso card stock, then embossed it with my D'Vine Swirls embossing folder. The 3 rectangles were too long to fit in the embossing folder, so I covered the demarcation with ribbon to cover it. I had a scrap of red glitter sticker paper and used a
Spellbinder's "Lacey Circles" to die cut. Then I added the two MME stickers. Easy and all from paper scraps :)
Follow this sketch and link your card to
Jingle Belles "Oh Christmas Sketch" challenge. Every two weeks Lauren & Stef have a new challenge. It is so much fun to make a Christmas card every week (or two) than to frenzy produce at the last minute. I first "met"
Lauren and
Smilyn' Stef over five years ago via blogging. Yep, my
five year blogoversary was June 1, 2012 and this is my
1,000th post!
