TGIF!! Or should I say TGIFIM!! (Translation - thank goodness it's Friday in Missoula) Yep, that's right! As this post goes live, I will be in Missoula, Montana visiting my very sweet friend Tosh! No, Tosh didn't move to Montana (I wish!!), but is here visiting her son so I couldn't possibly not drive a few hours to see her!!
When I saw Beate's sketch for this week (Weekend Sketch Challenge 103), I thought this gorgeous sentiment from Verve's new Blessed Christmas set would be perfect in the center!
I used some K & Co. Christmas patterned paper, added a couple flourishes, embellishments, and of course some stitching! The sentiment (from the Blessed Christmas set) is embossed on Choice Buttercream c.s., and then I used my Copics to add some color. The Blessed Christmas set will be released tonight (along with 6 other brand new sets)! Verve is having a release party (complete with lots of giveaways) in the Verve Forum over at Splitcoast at 9 p.m. Eastern Time!
There is always amazing Weekend Sketch inspiration to be seen over at Beate, Cambria, Charmaine, Jenn, Lori, Mary Jo, & Sharon's blogs!
Thanks for stopping by! ~Laurie
