Okay...back to what I was saying...it is SKETCH hop week!  Here is the sketch we all used:




And here is my creation using that sketch as my foundation...



I used Evangeline.  I colored her with my copics and then cut her out....I used the flower for her to 'lean' on.

I hope you enjoy my interpretation  of the the sketch!  I seem to 'stretch it a bit!  HA!

Royal Wednesday Hop on a Tuesday!!!!

You as confused as me?  HA!

We are hopping on Tuesday instead of Wednesday because of Thanksgiving here in the states this week!  Lots of folks traveling and what not so we thought it best to hop early!

So.....if you came here via Shannon's Blog then you are on the right track!  If not start at the top so you won't miss a thing!  Go HERE....

This week is inspiration week and here is where we were to get our inspiration from:






Isn't it a BEAUTIFUL inspriation!  I love the colors...the soft blues and the white/silver....and yes, that reminds me of the winter colors!  So I picked up those colors and here is my result:


I used the Fancy Christmas Stamp Set.  You can't see it but I stamped it with my versa and it is embossed in silver!  Along with the edges of the image.  Also, a few bits of the powder were scattered everywhere and in real life it adds such a wonderful effect....sigh...I so need to learn some photo tips for these cards!  Paper is Basic Grey and Pink Paislee.  And I've had this cute little Santa pick that I've been wanting to use, as soon as I stuck him behind the bow I knew he found a home!  HA! The sentiment is a MM rubon.

Well, time to hop on....next stop is the WIS blog and see what is up there!  Bet is is gonna be great!  Thanks for hopping by....in case you get lost along the way here is a complete list of the hop this week! Don't forget to stop by the store at the end and add some goodies for yourself!  You deserve it!
