JINGLE BELLES♥ it's our very first sketch of 2013 and we owe it all to our lovely guest star and supremely talented fellow belle
brenda barton! it's a corker, too, so let's get right to it, shall we?!
yep. told you. good, isn't it? i love that it's perfectly structured, but you can still take it in any direction you want. so i did!

i rotated the sketch 90 degrees clockwise, because i found the PERFECT paper in the MME "all is bright"* collection. now the great thing about this 6x6 paper pad is that the patterns are in a fabulous eclectic style, with little banners or collagey bits built right into each design. so only a crazy person would come along and fussy cut a few different ones from their various pages and combine them all together, right?! yes.
that would be ME!!! :) so yeah, forgive me for being totally immodest, but i really like this one!
two other cards i really like this week were made by
brenda and
stephanie using this same gorgeous sketch, and can be found over at ♥
JINGLE BELLES♥. i do hope you'll stop over there and check them out!
*for the record, i think i have loved every single thing rhonna farrer has ever designed. and i really REALLY love her xmas stuff! just sayin'... :)
