My Scraps & More Sketch #63

Hey there and good morning!
It's Friday, that means a new sketch is up on the My Scraps & More Sketch Blog!
I used Fancy Pants Timbergrove Collection for this layout of Sierra and Austin making a snowman:

 

Here are a few close ups:

 

I added some watered down acrylic paint (teal) and dropped a few splotches of brown ink. I used the letter stickers that came with the Timbergrove collection pack and added red faux stitching to make them stand out:

 

I layered some of the borders with foam tape and punched scalloped circles and cut them in half from the corrugated white paper:

 

I fussy cut the snowmen from patterned paper and added a little Stickles:

                                  Here is the fabulous sketch that started this fun winter layout:

 

Hope you will play along with us this week!

One more post for the day!
Cards in Envy has a new challenge up on their blog today! Here is the challenge:
Snow Buddy Like You! Create a card with one or more snowmen. Make sure your card is an A2 size (4.25" x 5.5") and is 1/4" or less in thickness to fit in an envelope.

Here is what I came up with using some American Craft papers and an old Pink Paislee snowmen embellie:

 

Aren't those snow people just the cutest?!

 

If you have time, we would love to have you play along with this fun challenge!

Happy Monday!

I would like to share a tag I have up on the Just Imagine Blog today.
I created this tag for a challenge over at Turtle Soup.
I used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 Punch #312 and only used the negative piece for my border. I also added a couple of the negative snowflakes to really make my tag look wintry:

This month has 5 Mondays, so our extra challenge at LGS this month is a fun bingo card.
I used the bottom row: butterflies, chipboard, frame, stitching and a doily along with My Mind's Eye Collectables and mixed it up with some Fancy Pants and Cloud on this layout of Bender:

 

I love that photo of Bender, but I can't take credit for it. I still am not sure how Sierra got him to lay down that long, lol!

 

I used a new stencil I bought a few weeks ago and added some acrylic paint:

 

 

Hope you have a wonderful week!
