A Sketch Challenge With Let's Get Hopping












Hey Y'all!
I'm so excited to hop again with my Let's Get Hopping friends! This group was my initiation into blog hops, and I am so grateful for their friendship and inspiration over the past few years. This is our 49th hop! If you are arriving from Mikaela's blog, or starting here, Welcome!


Today we are sharing a sketch challenge. I love to use a sketch as a starting point, especially when I feel like I've lost my crafting mojo and feel "stuck." And sometimes I feel like I make the same card over and over again, and a sketch can help get me out of that monotony.


I chose one of my favorite Christmas sets-Poinsettia Petals and the matching dies. I also wanted to highlight the Tidings of Christmas DSP.


This card is definitely not a quick and easy card, but the time was oh so worth it! I love the elegance of the gold elements, and the beauty of all of the different textures and layers. 


Thank you for stopping by today! Now you get to hop over, or should I say "down under," and see what the lovely Teresa Brown has created for us today! And, as my card says, I am sending "Warm Wishes" (literally! it's 72 degrees here in South Georgia!) from our home to yours. Have a very Merry Christmas!

Non-Traditional Christmas-Let's Get Hopping Round 47








Hey Y'all!

It's great to be back with the Let's Get Hopping crew for another fun hop! This month, we made projects around the theme "Non-Traditional Christmas." If you are already hopping along, you arrived from the fabulous Megan Teare, or you may be starting with me. Either way, Welcome!
This was a challenge for me! When I saw the theme, my mind immediately went to a suite that I fell in love with, surprisingly, because if anyone is a traditional girl, it's me! And when I think of "traditional" Christmas, I think of color-red, green, plaid.  The Whimsy and Wonder Suite is anything but traditional, but it is so beautiful.


I love the soft colors in the suite's DSP, and even though I didn't use it on my card, I used it as inspiration for my color scheme, Blushing Bride, Pool Party, and silver embossing. 



The ribbon was pulled apart to create the individual strands and tied in a knot, and added some of the Subtle Shimmer Sequins.  I wanted to keep the card clean and simple. I added one of the small trees to the inside of my card. 
Now it's time to hop over to my beautiful friend from "Down Under," Shelley Wadge.




Card Measurements:
  • Basic White Thick cardbase(it makes a difference, you want to use thick for your cardbases!)  8-1/2 x 5-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
  • Blushing Bride Panel 4-1/8 x 5-3/8
  • Basic White panel 4 x 5-1/4
