Christmas ‘on the Square’! * SSS33
Happy Weekend, everyone! Now that we’re seriously into the countdown for Christmas, it’s amazing how quickly the time is zipping by!
Saturdays bring us the weekly Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge, and I think you’ll really enjoy working with this one. Square cards are among my favorites, and this sketch has some great additions for added interest. We invite you to play along and share your creation from the sketch this week. Just add your uploaded link from your blog or SCS gallery to Mr. Linky at The Sweet Stop!

This week, I’ve chosen one of the sweet digital images from Sweet ‘n Sassy as the focus of my card. I printed the image on white C/S, then twice more on designer paper. Layers were cut from the printed paper, and popped up for added dimension. The tree was given some extra texture with green Sparkly Fluff, then white Sparkly Fluff created the ‘snow’ on the boughs and beneath the tree.
Now for even more sketch inspiration, you’re invited to check out the samples from the rest of the Sugar Babies team: Korin Sutherland, Nicole Anderson, Holly Brown, Ann Clack, Jodi Collins, Barb Guinan, and my thanks to you for visiting me today! Take a smile with you along your way today!
