Since it's the last Monday of the month, it's round or square week over at the Mojo Monday blog. Two sketches for you to choose from, or you could get ambitions and use them both :)This time around, I chose the square sketch. Out of character for me, but this one spoke to me as I love using my lacy squares Nestabilities.
A Christmas theme has has begun on my blog, and I had great fun using this wonderful MME glittered paper called I Believe as my starting point. Needed a "pop" of colour so I punched out a snowflake and added red embossing powder so it would nice and sparkly. Oh how I love snowflakes...it's my winter replacement for leaves LOL!
You can check out all the challenge details are over on the Mojo Monday blog and also get a chance to view all the wonderful Mojo Makers samples! Should you wish more details on their cards, you can also visit their individual blogs noted below.
