2S4Y :: Noel + Merry Christmas




** BONUS SKETCH **

Happy Monday, Bleeps! How was your weekend? I got the chance to photograph a family yesterday and it was FREEZING! I even managed to get Mac to take a few shots of me! I may share those with you later this week! But, what I really wanted to share with you today were these cards for this week's 2 Sketches 4 You layouts! I say layoutS because there is a bonus sketch this week by me! It is my very FIRST sketch, so take on the challenge and make two cards this week and link them up here! GCD Studios is the sponsor this week and you don't want to miss out on their fantastic products!

If you're looking for some holiday color inspiration, I didn't forget! Scroll down for the "traditional" color swatches I used in the above cards for 2 Sketches 4 You!

Thanks for visiting and have a great Monday!

Noel
