Time for a new sketch at Twisted Sketches, and you'll have to go on over there to check out Twisted Sketch #134, but I'll give you a peek at how I put the sketch to good use:

The picture really didn't come out great, the colors are so much lovelier in real life, but I guess you'll have to take my word for it! My one fun little trick to share with you about this LO is in the title. I cut the word "New" from the Cricut 5 times, and ran one of each letter through my Big Shot polka dot embossing folder. Brushed the dots with white ink; stacked and adhered them all together. Fun way to dress up simple cardstock letters. =) T

Guess Who's a Guest Designer at Scrap Our Stash???

yup, little old me!! I'm thrilled for the chance to be a guest designer over at Scrap Our Stash this month, the challenge blog that encourages you to use that stash. Whether it be cartloads of cardstock, a bonanza of buttons, or ridiculous ribbons, we all have plenty!! As part of my introduction over there, I turned to my stash of ribbons and buttons to create this layout- gasp, a 2-pager!!

Sorry for the flash reflected off the photo, that's what happend when you try and take a pic in bad lighting late at night! For this layout I used 6 scraps of green ribbon, and 6 green buttons. All the greens are a bit different, but I think it adds to the whimsy of the page not being so matchy-matchy.

I hope you'll have a chance to stop on over at Scrap Our Stash, say hello and maybe dig into your own stash for a bit of creating! I'm also linking this up at Paper Issues "Holiday Madness" Linking party- if you're looking for creative holiday crafting ideas, this is the place to go! =) T
