Welcome to another StampTV CSS Alumni blog hop! This one is a sketch hop based on a sketch designed by our own Melissa Cash. If you've come here from the extremely talented Deb Felt's blog then you're in the right place. If not, you may want to go back at the beginning of the hop and catch each piece of inspiration from this very talented group.
Here is Melissa's sketch and my card
Details: CS - GKD Pure Luxury White and All Spruced up. Stamps: Showtime Stamp Kit "Holiday Cheer" (one of my very favorites) and "The Magic of Christmas" (sentiment) (another favorite) by Rupa Shevde.
Other: MS pine tree border punch, Nestabilities lables 18, CuttleBug folder "Musical Flouish", Metalic Rub-ons (you can get them at GKD) the Christmas color pack.
Thanks for stopping by, now please hop on over to the fabulously talented Carolina's blog but before you go, please leave a comment here and on each blog along the hop for a chance to win one of Gina's fantastic stamp sets - even one of those that I've used (up to a $24.95 value) because on Tuesday morning (November 1), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs and your comment might be the one. How cool would that be????
And don't forget to create your own project using Melissa's sketch and post it to the forum link so we can all see it. We love it when you all play along with us.
Have a great weekend!
