this week at scrap and stamp Saturday we have a wonderful sketch challenge for you. to see the sketch head on over to scrap and stamp where you can also see some of the other stunning layouts the design team has come up with. i can hardly believe the year as come to an end so quickly...but luckily you still have some time to play along today and for a few more Saturdays! remember to use at least one stamp on your layout and then submit it to stand a chance of winning some fun prizes.
and here's what i did with my sketch....

and a close-up of my stamped image. i cut a piece off to run off the page, inked it with distress inks and then added a bling border.

the stunning patterned papers are by House of Three with its beautiful resist print. I inked it using 2 different colours of distress ink. my title consists out of rub-ons and chipboard letters.

for the bottom edge of my layout i used a strip of tags coloured using a brown mist. i simply love tags and the colours worked perfectly with the red and yellow Teresa Collins' patterned paper. my journaling block, decorative tag and photo were slightly tilted to match the sketch. hope you like it. i hope you have a fabulous and creative saturday! i am off to clean my work table and then maybe do a couple of tim's christmas tags!
