merry little christmas...

Happy 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday!

Today's sketch might look familiar to you...it was the one that Pam designed for the recent 365 Cards Design Team Call. Whew...I remember when I first looked at it, I said: "Oy". LOL.. Actually the sketch looks way harder than it really is...seriously.

For some odd reason...I tend to "freak out" on ovals...why oh why is that? You know what? I ended up having so much fun with that sketch:

It was a challenging sketch for me BUT what I've learned {in my old age...LOL} is that you gotta play with stuff that makes you happy. I knew that I wanted to use the oh-so-darling Hero Arts Holiday Doll set...come on peeps...don't they just make you ♥smile♥?

Whenever I look at the red October Afternoon print it reminds me of Japanese fabric...kimono style...well, I kind of feel the same way with the Cosmo Cricket Earth Love patterns that I used too.

Check out my oval...I got 4 words for you about the paper I used:

Sweet Mother of Pearl

It is Gmund Savanna....111 lb Cover...111 lb....good grief. It has a very delish wood grain embossing....oh yeah peeps, you just gotta get some of that goodness...quite frankly, I don't think I've ever worked with 111 lb paper...it is out of this world...I bought mine locally at Paper Zone. The fabbie Heidi also sent me some in a goodie package {you rock sista}.

Well, I'm hoping to be SUPER productive today. I 'want' to make tons of altered tins and such for my Holiday Trunk Show this Saturday. Everybody is on the look out for a "slam dunk giftie".
