Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Sketch 35 ~ DT Card 2

Hi Crafty Friends,
I'm back with my second card for the BYSH Facebook team using sketch 35.
You have lots of time to join our challenge by adding your card to the Facebook Group Album.
Here's my card using papers from a DCWV stack that I've had in my stash for years.  All I added was a twine bow and some gold discs.  Don't you love papers sets that include a variety of sentiment blocks?It sure makes things quick and easy.

Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers ~ Sketch 35, Card #1

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's Christmas in July for a lot of cardmakers blogs but at Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers it's Christmas EVERY month.  I may actually have enough card come December 1.
Here's my first design team project using sketch 35.

I have so many wonderful Echo Park 6 x 6 paper pads so it's easy to find coordinating papers and go from there for embellishments.  I dug out some BRADS for this card.  I knew that drawer full would come in handy and my corner chomper - some tools are just too good to let go.

I hope you'll play along with us on our FaceBook group HERE.  Just add your projects to the Sketch 35 folder.  A winner will be chosen at the end of the month but you'll be a winner because you'll be ahead on your holiday cardmaking.

Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers ~ Sketch 34 Challenge, Card #2

Hi Crafty Friends,
I'm back with my second card for the {BYSH} Challenge #34.  You have until the end of the month to enter our FaceBook Challenge.  It's such a great way to be ahead for your holiday card making.

I am in love with vintage truck cards and this die from Impression Obsession is one of my favorites.

Echo Park papers are also among my favorites.  They have warehouse clearance sales often and it's a great time to pick up lots of 6 x 6 paper pads.  When I'm designing, my patterned papers guide my card design.  Aren't these papers fun?

Below is the sketch for this month and the links to the FaceBook folder.

I hope you'll play along and upload your interpretation of this sketch to

 our FaceBook page HERE.

I encourage you to check out our FB page for lots of inspiration and a folder full of sketches to help get your creative juices flowing.

Here's the sketch for you.  There is still plenty of time to enter our Facebook Challenge.
