Hello, and good Friday before the big Christmas Day! I'm sure everyone is frantic getting all those last minute preparations done right about now... I know I am! I sure am looking forward to all the good food and family time to be had though! I am also anxious for more time to relax after all the holiday festivities come to a close as well! ;)
However, today I wanted to first announce the winner of my giveaway that was up for grabs for the Advent Calendar day I hosted at The Nook! Thanks to everyone who left their wonderful comments... I really appreciated them! And the winner is...
Yay, Sherri! You won my card kit with the Tim Holtz Alterations Brick and Woodgrain Texture Fades! Please pm me your address and I will get them off to you real soon!
Now who's ready for a Winter Wonderland? I'm not really wanting any significant amount of snow right now, but I wouldn't mind a few flurries for Christmas Day. Right this minute though, I will stay warm and enjoy the beauty of a previous snowfall from earlier in the year on my latest SOUS sketch layout. Here's this week's sketch from SOUS designer, Sandi Clarkson...
And here's my interpretation, which I rotated...

I still used 3 photos, only I adjusted the placement and of course used larger pictures. All cardstock used here is Core'dinations... even that vibrant glittered blue which is Core's line of "Glitter Silk" cardstock... perfect for Wintery pages and projects like this. I have to say that it cuts wonderfully in the Cricut Expression too! The beautiful and intricate snowflake imagery here is cut using Cricut's Damask Decor cartridge. I know I always seem to have a new favorite Cricut cart, lol... but this one totally IS a favorite! I also used the Martha Stewart pine needles deep edge punch again and I love the look of the design punched from white cardstock. It really pops off that blue Glitter Silk! The BG Nordic Holiday line was a pefect fit for a Winter page paired off with some really cool gray plaid May Arts ribbon. Yes... I really love to look at the beauty of a Wintery scene like this! If only snow wasn't so cold!
I want to wish all my friends and followers a very Merry Christmas, and wonderful wishes for a very blessed and healthy New Year in 2012! Love to ALL!
