Paper Play

Paper Play Sketches #32, that is.  Even though this sketch intimidated me at first, once I got going, I really got into it.  Here's the sketch:
 
 
And here's what I did with it:
 
 
To create this card, I finally decided to cut into my 6x6 Perfectly Plaid Winter paper pad from Lawn Fawn (GASP!)  I've been hoarding that and the Perfectly Plaid Christmas pad since I bought them last fall.  I guess they won't do me any good at all if I don't use them, right??  So I chose which patterns I wanted to use, and (luckily) found a matching gray card stock in my stash.  That cute polar bear is from Bugaboo; find him here.  The sentiment is stamped in Memento London Fog ink.
 
Challenges:
 
12 Months of Christmas Link Up #25:  ATG, or optional "Out with the Old, In with the New" theme (new, used my recently acquired MISTI to stamp the sentiment; old just about everything else)
ABC Christmas:  "A" for ATG, or "B" for something beginning with "b" (blue, bear)
Christmas Card Challenges #5:  ATG or optional "Snow" theme
CHNC #318:  ATG or optional "No Sentiment" theme
Crimbo Crackers #125:  Something Cute
January Rudolph Days:  ATG Christmas
Cutie Pie #107:  Winter Warmers
HIMCR #286:  Any Holiday
Crafty Sentiments:  Use Dies (Spellbinders used to cut out sentiment layers)
Come and Get It:  3 or more layers
 
Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back soon with my DT post for CHNC Extra! God Bless!

  25. Wonderful combo of papers and excellently designed. We are so blessed for your participation in our last Challenge and would love for you to join us again in our current Challenge at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving you with this Scripture inspiration from Colossians 2:6-7 which tells us, "So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." Have a blessed week.
