Presents and Chevrons for TTS13

Happy Thursday! I'm back in Alaska and trying get on schedule again. It's hard when you work nights and then spend several days awake during the day, and getting very little sleep. It was a whirlwind trip but the wedding was beautiful and my cousin is happy, and that's what matters!

Today we have a sketch challenge at 'Tis The Season! I stretched the interpretation of the chevrons a bit (I'm not a chevron fan) but hey, they're still there right? I used the stack of presents from the 'Wishing You' set and colored them with colors pulled from the DSP.

I'm also making 5 of these to play along with the SCS Christmas card challenge(which I have fallen behind on, ooops!)

I hope you'll come join us at 'Tis The Season, we'd love to have you play along with us!

Supplies used(all supplies SU unless otherwise stated):

Stamps: Wishing You

Paper: Baked Brown Sugar, Old Olive, Whisper White, Season of Style DSP

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Big Shot, Nestabilities Circles, Stylish Stripes EF, sponge, dimensionals

Sketchy Chevrons for Friday Mashup

Happy Friday! How many folks have a candy hangover? I know I sure do! We don't get a lot of kids where I live so I always make sure to buy plenty of candy that we just "happen" to have left over, hehehehe :)

Today's Friday Mashup is brought to us by Holly, and she is all about a sketch that incorporates chevrons. Some of you with a keen eye may recognize this as a layout from a card in the holiday mini. Because I'm not a fan of chevrons(I'm really trying to ignore the whole chevron craze) and because the sketch stumped me I went simple and CASE'd the card from the catalog. I changed up a few things, such as the card base, glitter, coloring in the image and the use of a banner in the top right corner.

This is also the first challenge with all of our new design team members so I hope you'll come by the Friday Mashup blog, check out their creations and play along!

I'm also entering this card over at Merry Monday, as the challenge there this week is all about Santa! I love Santa, he is one of my favorite things about Christmas!
