A great sketch challenge from Kim over at
Freshly Made Sketches....and so excited to try out the flat shakers' cards and I threw in a regular shaker box for a mix. I upcycled the cellophane packaging from a monthly desk planner and think I can make 15-16 cards out the packaging. Used my vintage pattern papers and sequins mixed with teeny snowflakes and iridescent confetti glitter from my stash. Started with the *merry* and than remembered the Merry & Bright window, which worked perfect for these shakers. Trying to decide which is my fave and it's between the non-traditonal pink card and the green Christmas trees with the silver. Which one is your fave? Four more cards to make it 169 cards of my 240 cards goal.
Thanks for dropping by to have a peek.
Happy Monday!
EDIT: OMGee....how exciting that Kim chose my cards as the Freshly Made Sketches' Queen - so honoured and GRATEFUL!
My Queen for this week is Sheri. I love her use of the sketch to do full-size shakers behind her big sentiment. And I also love that when she plays along with us, she often does multiple different cards. It is really fun to look at her variety of cards and see how small changes can make such a big difference. Congrats, Sheri. You are our Queen of Clean! Thank you for making the day - happy smile for the rest of the day! Congrats to all the other winners with their beautiful cards.

Congratulations Sheri! These cards are fit for a queen. I know I saw you making them and they were really inspiring.
