SWAT November Sketch

A new month,  lots of new challenges... and the new sketch for Sketches with a Twist looks like this...


and the twist is to use stamps on your layout...

Well I will be honest and say I did not know what to do with this sketch at first... but then I played with it a bit..

The heart I made into a circle and put around the 3 photos which I cut out in circles and the 6 pieces on the right side I put together and made my tree, and then embellished it as I pleased.... You can see the sketch.....if you use your imagination... which is what sketches are for anyways!!!

Joy..


I have stamped around the edge of the layout with the stars and border flourishes...and the red chevron is a stamp...

a bit closer...

I have used old papers and old brads on the Christmas tree, cherry lynn bauble dies and bow die...and it was good to use up some old fozz felt too!!

Thanks for dropping in and I hope you get some time to join in with this challenge ...
and thank you so much for any comments you leave me!!
