Blue Christmas

Hello, hello all!! I took a bit of a break :) Actually, I have been working overtime at my job and when I get home, I just want to relax by the fire. This past week it has gotten down to -40 C (-40 F). Yes, winter has hit mid-Canada with a vengeance! But Weather Canada says we are supposed to look forward to a mild Christmas, which would be a blessing for all the holiday travelers.


Tonight's challenge: 1. Unscripted Sketches has a FAB sketch this week:

and Frosted Designs challenge this week is "Scalloped Edges"

And my take on the sketch with a scalloped edge:

Card Ingredients:
K&Co paper; Recollections cardstock; Cricket George and Basic Shapes cartridge and Winter Woodland Cartridge; studio g stamp; Stampendous! Pirate Gold embossing powder; Sheer Creations ribbons; random button, gems, and twine.



2. Get Sketchy has a great sketch too - which I am really just SQUEAKING in - see what happens when I take a break??



And mine entry:


Card Ingredients: American Crafts Jolly paper; Recollections cardstock; studio g stamp; Stampendous! Sterling Silver embossing powder; random ribbon, button and twine.

Happy Thursday!!! I promise I will be here tomorrow with another project :) Keep warm!!

Deanne, you did a remarkable job incorporating three sketches into the two gorgeous cards that you made last night. The color combos, designs, embossing, rounded corners, bows, embellishments, everything, is spectacular. You are such a unique and awe-inspiring artist and crafter, and it's such a joy for all us followers to view your blog.Have a great weekend, keep warm, and enjoy the Xmas Party!
