Hi there! I hope you are having a great weekend! I've been struggling to get my crafty MOJO going. I've grown tired of making holiday cards for now. I have managed to hoard various paints, inks, textures pastes, etc..., all waiting to be used so I opted to create a layout. The 12 x 12 space allows so much more room to be creative than the standard A2 size card.

I joined along with the current 7 Dots Studio challenge where the theme is The Holiday spirit. 

I scrapped a layout of my sweet dog Griffin all dressed up in his Santa outfit. If that doesn't demonstrate holiday spirit ~ then I'm not sure what does.

I used a variety of beautiful papers from the 7 Dots Studio Cold Country and Thoughts Keeper collections:

I added lots of ink and texture using the Tattered Lace stencil which was designed by my sweet blogging friend Kasia:

The title was die cut using a Tim Holtz Sizzix die:

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current Creative Scrappers sketch challenge and I'm also linking to the Artist Trading Post challenge where the theme is Let's Celebrate (we're celebrating the holiday spirit in my home :)

Many thanks for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great day / evening!
Be Sweet ;)
