The minute this post goes live at midnight, the kids and I will be landing at Newark airport in New Jersey! We left San Francisco at 3pm, but with the time change, we landed at 11:59am. Am I crazy to be driving from the airport to my Aunts house from 12-2am? Perhaps....but sometimes you have to make sacrifices to get an AWESOME deal on airfare! Let's just all pray that there's a Starbucks on the way...
We'll be staying with family for the next week, but since I offically have stamping OCD, I've got all my posts, challenges and projects scheduled to magically appear every night at midnight as usual.
Here's Lauren's sketch challenge for today...
Here's what I came up with...
Remember "Do The Hula" from Stampin Up? I fell in love with this set when it first came out. The base is Tempting Turquoise cardstock and I used the hibiscus image from the set and Versamarked it to create my own patterned paper for the background. The pink patterned paper is from an SU Simply Scrappin kit that was retired a while back. To finish it off, I added some sugar coated Doodlebug brads to the top right corner and a yellow button to the ribbon.
And yes.....
Since I was working with a sketch challenge today, I also made a Christmas card!
For this one, I used Elegant Eggplant for the base and accented with Close to Cocoa and So Saffron cardstock. The little penquin is from Whipper Snapper and the snowflake and postmark images are from SU's "Winter Post" set.
To add a little sparkle, I put Doodlebug Sugar Coating on the ball of the hat and added some jewels to the strip of Saffron cardstock.
Be sure to check out what the rest of the design team did with the sketch.
They are all linked on my sidebar ------------>
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
I'll be back with a scheduled post on Monday.

Love both of your cards! What a great idea to make a Christmas card every now and then throughout the year. I should take up that habit :O)
You colored the hula girl beautifully! The fresh colors in your palette remind me of Hawaii. I miss it :(
