Both layouts are from different sketch challenges. I like to see the amazing creations that others come up with for these challenges. It's inspiring to see such unique variety! Anyway...off we go.
As usual, I LOVE the sketch that Lauren came up with! She always has something
fun for us :O) I really am feeling festive today so I created Christmas themed cards. Naturally, red is the first thing on my mind when I'm coming up with my color combination, and instead of pushing the thought aside, I went with it! I know my main image is OLD, but I'm playing catch up in the crafting world this year :O)

I know my main image is OLD, but I'm playing catch up in the crafting world this year :O) I normally post my supplies in my SCS Gallery, but it didn't prompt me to today for some reason. I have no idea what I did wrong. So, I'm posting them here instead.

This is my second participation in the Sketch Saturday challenge. I really like 
their layouts and their design team :O) Such unique creations every week! Still feeling festive, I created another Christmas themed card. I used the Brayered Sky technique for the background. The tutorial is on SCS. I 
love navy, silver, soft blue, and white together for Christmas cards. It's hard for me to veer away from these colors each year, but I force myself too! Ha ha. I don't know why I like that combination since all the trimmings on my tree are white and gold. I don't think I've ever created a white and gold card. Hmm...maybe I'll give that a shot.

Oh this came out awesome! Great use of that set!!
Kristin,
Wonderful Sketches! Makes me want to get stamping!
I just got back from SU regionals and have a million idea's in my head for projects!
I love the Sketch it set and it is so versatile. Have you ever looked it up on SCS? There are so many cute ways to use it!
I love all the Sesame Street ideas you can make with it, and there are some cute ones where they took the heart upside down and made it cleavage and a bra and said somthing about I support you!
You used it wonderfully, and even though your blog is so new I really enjoy your posts! My blog is way newer than yours just 2 weeks old now!
Thank you for the sweet post on my blog as well it made me feel really good!
This blogging world can sure give you a chance to make contacts and friends you would never have had the chance to make any other way!
I love the little comment about your best friend! That must have been destiny for you two to meet! Wow so many things in common! :-)
Looking forward to your next post! Keep up the wonderful creativity!
Oh and now I want to know what your husband had for you?

This is wonderful!
Thank you for including the link to the 'how to' on this! It was very interesting. I haven't seen this technique before (although I've only be messing about with paper and glue since July! LOL!)
I don't have a brayer but I DO have a birthday coming up. LOL!
Meanwhile I wonder if there is anything else I could use....looks around kitchen....
:)
wow, fantastic card! Love your background!

Kristine, love both cards on both sketches =)
Kristin,
thanks for the visit!
You asked if I had found a pseudo-brayer yet. Ermm... I did try an empty jam jar. I rubbed around it with an ink pad and rolled it. It sort of worked, a bit. Looked like a speckly sky, lots of cirus-stratus clouds, you know, the long wispy pulled-out cotton wool ones.
LOL! Still experimenting... fun though.
:^)
ps
Hey! It says you're a Scorpio! Me too! I have to wait till November 8th for my pressies. How bout you?
Beautiful winter card, the image is fabulous, thanks for joining us at SS this week
