{BYSHC} Sketch 69 - Bring on the Merry!

 Hello friends and welcome to MAY! How are we here already?!? Well let's get right to it! :) Sketch 69 goes all month long and our amazing sponsor for this month is Newton's Nook Designs! 

I chose to use some scraps on my desk that fit the sketch perfectly! The paper is from The Crafty Stamp Co., Season of Giving. The stamp set is called Christmas Trimmings, but is unfortunately retired :( Following the sketch, I cut a circle from vellum to place behind the girl. The circle with the sentiment seemed a little plain so I added some gifts and a wayward ornament, as well as some sequins. 

Christmas in July 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party - Bring on the Merry!

 Scrap pile, I hope, is getting smaller! But I keep finding new "piles!" :/ Christmas in July 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party is a great time to utilize all those scraps that you've been holding onto for way too long! 

I chose a sketch way back from the archives of {BYSHC}! Sketch 11 is shown below for reference! The paper is NOT from the same kit, probably not even the same manufacturer, but nonetheless they work beautifully together! Don't be afraid to mix up different manufacturers!

I chose to use a Newton's Nook Designs stamp and die set called Christmas Trimmings, which I am sorry to say that I just found out it is retired! Luckily they have LOTS of Christmas themed sets with matching dies still in their inventory! You can see some Christmas sets here! I stamped this lovely lady and some extras onto white 110# cardstock. Die cut everything and then colored to losely match the papers I chose. I then added some foam tape, some other die cuts for the banner and circle (both from Unity Stamp Co.) and some enamel dots for some accent! 

Thanks for visiting!
