THE ROBYN'S FETISH CHALLENGE #301--"WINTER CARDS WITH GLITTER"--31 JANUARY 2016

Tomorrow is the big Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More Store's Valentine's Day digis reveal!

Be sure to stop back by to see my card with one of the new digis!

In the meantime, this week's challenge at The Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog is to create winter cards with glitter!  Please be sure we can see the glitter on your card!  Our sponsor this week is Fred, She Said Designs, and the prize is a $10 voucher from the Fred, She Said Designs store.

The Design Team members were provided with an image from Fred, She Said Designs for our projects, and my chosen image is "Catchin' Flakes."  I decided to get a jump on Christmas cards for later this year, since I couldn't find any real winter-related sentiments in my sentiment stash.  Guess that means it's time to go shopping!

I used Sketch #217 from Sketch Saturday 

and will be entering my card there for their Week #397 Challenge.

Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style--Sketch #9

Happy New Year, everyone!!!

Welcome to January and a new sketch for Week 1 at Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style!  The first sketch for January comes from the lovely Maven Shawn (It's been rotated here.):

I used the sketch to make my title card for the Week 22 page in my 2014 (Yes, I said 2014!) album.

My apologies for not having my finished page to show how I used the card on my page, but my photo printer is on the fritz right now, so I can't print the pics to put in my page protectors.  :-(

We can't wait to see the PL cards you create with this new sketch!  Be sure to get your creation linked up at the Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style challenge blog before the end of the month.  Good luck, and happy scrapping!
