Merry, Joyful, Happy, Magical Christmas - Sketch Frenzy Friday

What a week it's been.  The weather has turned cooler, the leaves on the trees are starting to change color, and my Tuesday markets are done for another year.  That doesn't mean the craft shows are over, just this one market.  And we mustn't forget Hurrican Isaac - hitting Lousiana exactly 7 years to the day from Katrina.
But, time for another blog hop my friends, as today is Friday.
Today's sketch is by Tammy Fife:


08/31/12 - Tammy Fite

Technique:
The card stock base of Early Espresso is matted with Chevron embossed Very Vanilla.
The two 2 3/8" squares of Candlelight Christmas paper are matted with 2 1/2" pieces of card stock - each a different color.  The brown one with Lucky Limeade; the green patterned one with Early Espresso.
The sentiment was stamped with Early Espresso ink on Very Vanilla card stock, and then the word "Christmas" was colored in with a Lucky Limeade marker and Dazzling diamonds applied. It is matted with Early Espresso card stock, and attached to the card using dimensionals.

Stamp: Seasonal Sayings
Inks: Early Espresso, Lucky Limeade marker
Papers: Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Candlelight Christmas designer paper, Lucky Limeade
Accessories: Chevron folder, Dazzling diamonds, dimensionals

Now it's your turn to create something.  This sketch is full of possibilities!  When done upload it to the Sketch Frenzy homepage here
Don't forget to visit the blogs of the other designers and leave them a comment.
Your next stop is Patrice's blog here

Stay well, and I'll see you next week.
