Time for another MIDNIGHT MADNESS SKETCH CHALLENGE and this one (for me) was a doozie!!! If you look at my last post ... then this one ... you are going to think that I only own ONE stamp set but this Crafty Secrets Vintage Christmas image is just "making me happy today" so I'm GOIN' WITH IT!!!! LOL!!
If you haven't been over to Priscillastyles Blog, you are really missing out!! There is SO MUCH going on over there, I'm really having a hard time keeping up. I'll tell you a little more at the end of this post but for now, here is my creation for today! OOOOoooppps ... I see I forgot my little embellishments on my three panels ... oh well, too late now! Hope Priscilla doesn't smack my fingers ... since I don't have a "wireless printer" for my laptop ... I've been doing a quick sketch before going to the craft room and seems I missed this detail. NOTE TO SELF: take laptop to craftroom and quit sketching!!!
My friend, Sandy (glitterqueen that she is) will be thrilled with this creation! She says a card isn't complete until it has a bit of "sparkle". Well let me tell you ... this card has sparkle on all four sides so it definately qualifies as complete!!! LOL!! And I was able to utilize some of the holiday scraps I had piling up on my worktable! Hope you like it!!
Be sure to check out the BLOG HOP beginning the end of the week. Should prove to be VERY INTERESTING! Thanks so much for stopping by today and as always, your comments are appreciated!
