IC208,OCC Challenge - it's a Sketch!!!

Howdy friends!!! We are back!!!

We had a wonderful time at Disney and we managed to squeeze in *Universal Studios* and *Island of Adventure*!!! Let me just say....my feet are still killing me from all the walking!!!

Magic Kingdom was awesome, but a bit crowded so was Animal Kingdom!!! We were so lucky to have lunch with all the *Princesses* at the castle - without reservation - and Miriam said this was her BEST birthday e-v-e-r !!! Mission accomplished - LOL!!!

Silly me...as we were rushing out the door last week I forgot my camera and ended up buying some disposable cameras :( . I have them developed and share some photos with you tomorrow!!!

Can you believe it.....it is already the end of November and tomorrow is the 1st Advent!?! How did this happen???I know it was a busy month for me... I already created some new cards for this upcoming week and I can't wait to show them off...hope you'll stop by again???

Starting off with today's OCC Challenge......it's Jennifer's last week hosting and she is challenging us to this fun Sketch!!!


I combined this OCC Challenge with today's IC208 - Oliebollen. What a fun little shop....and after looking thru all the fun stuff I got stuck on this super duper cute ornament garland...it fits the Sketch perfectly!!!

It's a pretty straight forward Sketch and here is my take on it.......



















I used the beautiful Banner of Joy Set from Penny Black!!! (Unfortunately this Set has sold out at the Stamper's Dream Store!!!) Check out some some other cards I've made with this Set right HERE!!!!

For the the sentiment I used the JustRite Times Roman Upper and Lower Case Font Set.

Wonder where the red comes in....for some funny reason I'm stuck on using *red* these days...I guess it's my favorite color for the holiday season :) !?!? I made this a monochromatic look using Red Riding Hood and Vintage Cream!!! The size of my card measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2".

Hope you like it??? Please stop by the OCC Blog for all the Samples from the Team!!!

Have a great remaining weekend!!!
