Marieke has shared some amazing inspiration this month. She is back today with one last December Sketch Challenge. Thanks so much for joining us, Marieke!




Marieke created a multi-colored background with a simple frame to mimic the sketch. Her colored birds and mushrooms complement her color palette perfectly with a stamped sentiment banner completing her adorable design.

Joy used the sketch as inspiration for her underwater scene. She kept each of the window openings the same with a soft blue ink blended background, mimicking the look of ocean water. Colorful fish and greenery complete the look with a stamped sentiment for the greeting.

Keeway used the sketch layout to design a grid of adorable kittens in various poses. The added black & white polka dot background adds great contrast and really keeps the focus in her stamped images.

You've Been Spotted - December 25, 2018


Each week we see fantastic projects featuring My Favorite Things product, and we're always so thrilled to see what our customers and followers are creating!  

Today, we'd like to shine the spotlight on some awesome projects that have caught our attention in another edition of You've Been Spotted If you see your project featured, feel free to post this image on your blog and link to this post to show the world that you were spotted by My Favorite Things!
 

Suzy Plantamura
 

Suzy adorned her card front with the perfect Christmas morning scene - Santa peeking out from the behind the Christmas tree while the children excitedly open their presents. We love all of the details she added to make her card truly magical.

Nyja Horton


The Fa la la Die-namics is a great backdrop for a holiday card, and Nyja definitely made it work with her sweet Christmas shopper. The die cut snowflakes and faux stitched border and interest, and we love the stamped sentiment she used to complete her card.

Tara Rogers
 

How fun is this festive Christmas card by Tara. The photo on its own is absolutely adorable, but the added sentiment from Sassy Pants Holiday really brings a fun, playful look to her card.

Vicki Parson
 

The Filled with Joy Die-namics and stamp set have everything you need to create a holiday and/or winter themed card. Vicki used the charming snowman in place of the 'o' in her sentiment, and we love the added dimension she achieved with foam adhesive. So cute!

Kathrin Donhauser-Ruth


Who says mermaids don't celebrate Christmas under the sea? :) Kathrin combined multiple stamped elements to create an underwater holiday party complete with a Christmas tree, Santa crab and a festive mermaid!

Supplies featured in today's cards:
