Christmas Crafting (with sketches) #64

Good morning all. Not sure what's on the agenda today, may have to go food shopping!

I'm up to 80 stitches on my shawl so only 35 rows more to knit :)

It's time another challenge over at CCWS and we hope you're playing along with us this year and stocking up on those Christmas cards and projects. It's the Snow Angels turn this week and it was Diana's turn to design the sketch this time. We are being sponsored by Scrap It and Wrap It .


Unfortunately I boobed when making my card and completely forgot we have to use a stamped image and not just a sentiment on our cards so my card doesn't count......so please don't copy me!!!

Stamp from Creative Expressions, stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Detail Gold embossing powder. Die cuts from Spellbinders. Vellum backing paper and ribbons from my stash. Bow arrangement is recycled from a Christmas cracker and gold snowflake is a Christmas tree decoration.


Photobucket

You will have to pop over to the challenge blog to see the sketch for yourself, remember to check out
 the inspiration of the other DT members whilst you're there. 

 Challenges entered:
CHNC Extra - anything goes
Christmas Stampin all Year Round - use patterned paper
Wags n Whiskers - go green
Art Impressions Stamps - anything goes
Sarah Hurley - recycle
Sassy Studio Designs - recycle
Cupcake Craft - it's only words 
Holly Jolly Christmas - white/vanilla plus one
Christmas Cards all Year Round - sparkle and bling
The Corrosive Challenge - all that glitters
Christmas at Sweet Stampin - no red or green

    Ugh! I did that same thing a couple weeks ago, so frustrating to go to enter the card and realize you didn't follow the guidelines! But your card is gorgeous!! All the gold must be stunning in real life. Photos have such a hard time capturing sparkle and shine. Thanks for playing with CSAYL.
