My husband and I got trapped at my daughter’s last Christmas under 3 feet of snow. Deciding to take full advantage and alleviate some of the cabin fever my husband taught us all how to make ice cream from snow! We’d never heard of such a thing! It was super YUMMY!
So when I decided to use Lucy Chesna’s My Sketch World December Layout Sketch for these pictures I knew just the border and punch that I wanted to use. The Kreaxions Circle Cutter was perfect for making the half circles! And using the same circle cutter and fellow Just Imagine/Kreaxions DT Member Bev’s instructions on how to make a scallop border, I created my border at the bottom. Only I made a mistake and drew my line on the FRONT of my paper! Oops! So now I had to figure out a way to cover it up… The paper was double-sided and there sat the cut away piece from the border I’d just cut. I flipped it over and laid it on top of my mistake and no more mistake showing!!! So with one small tool (the AWESOME Kreaxions Circle Cutter) I created the border pieces and the half circles which are the main design elements on the page! So simple, quick and easy!

I had originally wanted to use pictures of Garrett's first Christmas with this sketch but I just couldn't find any papers to work with the pictures and the sketch together. So I decided to use different pictures and ended up with the Snow Ice Cream layout which I love. As I was putting my things away after creating this layout, I suddenly realized I had forgotten about a huge pad of Christmas papers! I grabbed the papers, put them with Garrett's pictures and the next thing I knew I had a second layout based on this sketch! I KNEW it was perfect for the pictures! Here's the end result -
I hope you've enjoyed this month's installment of the My Sketch World layout sketch! Check back in the beginning of the new year for some fun announcements here! I'll be posting some challenges here and offering some RAKs in the coming months!!! So be sure you're a follower and be on the lookout for some scrappy, punchy and cardmaking fun soon!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!
