A Sketch Challenge at the 4 Crafty Chicks!

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..."  Are you humming along with me?  I am so ready for Christmas to get here but mostly I'm looking forward to going Boxing Day shopping with my mom and sister.  It has been a tradition with me and my mom for the past four or five years to brave the crazies and see what goodies we can find...but we don't take it too seriously.  We CERTAINLY are NOT the ones sleeping outside of the store overnight just to get that great deal on the big-screen TV... :)  Now, maybe if it was a Grand Calibur I'd rethink that statement...

Anyhoo...you're here for a challenge, right?  Well, you've come to the right place.  This week's challenge at the 4 Crafty Chicks is from Lori, our hostess with the mostest, and she has created this FABULOUS sketch for you all to play with:

I didn't have a color challenge to work with for this card so I went to my Basic Grey paper stash and found a pad of Pyrus paper I hadn't cracked open yet so I thought I'd remedy THAT little faux pas:

Stamps: Small Script (SU!)  Paper: Blue Bayou, Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla, Pyrus DSP  Ink: Cajun Craze  Accessories: Scallop edge border punch, adhesive pearls, Very Vanilla seam binding, button, chipboard stars, adhesive sheets, craft knife, glitter, dimensionals, paper piercer

I hope you will take a few minutes to play along with us this week - I know we are all going to be a {bit busy} but if you need a little break, we'd love to see what you create.  :)

This will be my last post before Christmas so I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you ALL for your love and support over the past year ~ I have had so much fun sharing my love of paper with each and every one of you.  I hope that you will all enjoy the time spent with family and friends over the next few days - relax and take pleasure in the quiet times.  Merry Christmas, everyone!
