Living in France, I had to choose this one!

I'ts Crafting Time - DT Sketch Challenge

It’s Crafting Time provided a sketch for my final DT project.

Design Team Sketch.

Materials used:

American Crafts “Sixth Avenue” for the background.

Patterned papers from graphic 45 and Crate Paper.

Snowflake border and heart: Fancy Pants Designs, blue droplets: KaiserCraft, ribbon from stash.

Oh Christmas Tree.

Material used:

Crate Paper Portrait Collection – Something Blue (Red).

Fancy Pants – Tradition stickers from Crafting Time.

Mulberry tissue -  World Market. Cardstock embellishments; ribbons etc. from stash.

Method:

I scrunched up a piece of the tissue paper, smoothed it out a little then spray glued it to the red background paper. 

Spray glued the ribbon & gold net bow before arranging on the page. 

Mounted the close up photo of my 2011 mantelpiece decoration on a piece of green cardstock and placed on the page.

Then added the Oh Christmas Tree, believe, stars & redbird stickers, & cardstock embellies to finish.

A quick and easy page to do.

Santa Claus is coming.......

This was the sketch provided for the SG "Scrap a Sketch" last month.

Since we don't reveal our LO's until the first of the following month I decided to make it a  Christmas themed page.

This one features two of my Santa Clauses which I have collected for many years.

The white one on the left is my Bavarian Santa and probably should be classed as a tree topper, the Santa in the blue costume came home with us after a RV trip around Virginia, USA in 1987.
