Thanks again to Michelle's Scrapbooking & More for being our Monthly sponsor..check out what they are giving away this month HERE

NOW FOR OUR WEEKLY BONUS PRIZES

We have a very special treat

for the Bonus Winner of MMSC27. Our weekly sponsor is once again, the very talented Michelle Perkett. Michelle Perkett is an artist who believes that the world can always use more happiness, innocence, color and inspiration. You can see her amazing work here.

Here is this week's sketch!

....And here is my take on the sketch!

I used Michelle's fabulous Summer image on my card.

I made it more of a Christmas type image using the Winter Wonderland paper from K & Co. I paper pieced her dress and colored the rest of the image with copics. Parts of the background are dry embossed with the soft swirls embossing folder. The triangle corner pieces are embossed with gold. The pearls are from ZVA Creative. I did lots of sewing. This image is truly different than my usual style and I struggled with how I wanted to use it but I think it turned out o.k. What do you think?

It is a busy time of year for us all and we at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge are no exception, Priscilla will be out of town for a couple of weeks and the Design Team is going to take over.We hope you have a restful vacation Priscilla.

In addition to all the normal monthly and weekly giveaways, we have our blog hop to look forward to, so don’t forget to put the “Holiday Blog Hop” logo on your side bar for a chance to win a weekly gift till our hop launches. We will let you know if you are one of the winners!
