Christmas Magic-December 5 Sketch

Hey y'all! Stephanie here today to share my layout using the December 5 sketch. Here is a reminder of the wonderful sketch created by Nanne!

What a great design! And here is my layout

I started with the "Deck the Halls" paper from Elle's Studio and added patterned paper layers, all of which are from Carta Bella. I distressed the edges of all my papers here.

I used die cut & vellum flowers and stars from Pink Paislee.

My doilies are from Martha Stewart. The date sticker & snowflake stickers that adorn some of the stars are from Echo Park. I love mixing & matching different manufacturers on a single project!

My die cut title is from Teresa Collins.

These photo were taken at a local hotel that goes all out on their Christmas decorations! We visit every year & take pictures. And yes, these are from 2009!!

 

We hope you find the time to play along! We love to see your creations. You have until December 18 to link up your layout.  

 

Thanks for stopping by! Make it a crafty weekend!!

Original Sketch reveal and we've made some changes :)

Welcome to the first sketch challenge of December..

We here at S.O.U.S are going to change things up a bit with our challenges from now on..

Every Friday we will be posting a new challenge as before,  but our design team members for that  challenge team will be sharing their projects for that weeks challenge every day.

meaning, all of our DT members have been assigned a day to post their projects, 

So, this will give you lots of reasons to stop by every single day for a little inspiration..

To start off our December challenges, we have a sketch for you this week:

The sketch was designed by Me, Nanné and I will be hosting this months challenges..

I'm going to share with you my take on today's sketch and here it is:

We had our first snow arrive last week and I had to take some photos while on break at work :)

The colors are a bit off of this layout.. We have winter and taking photos outside just isn't an option any longer, and inside photos just don't photograph nicely :)

Here's some close ups and details:

added a heart flourish and with some snow flakes on it..

little drops of baby blue stickles for added details..

Added some Diamond stickles to the white of the hat..

my mittens and scarf.. winter essentials..LOL

and finally my title.. 

I cut this using my Cricut and the Winter Woodland cartridge..

and their ya have my take on our sketch..

Now, for our top 3 from the Nov 7th die cut challenge:
