August already!

Monday, August 2, 2010

WOW, how fast is this year motoring along? August is upon us and so we have come to another wonderful sketch challenge over at Imaginisce. This months sketch was designed by the very talented DT member Sarah de Guzman.
If you would like to play along, you have until the 25th of August to upload your creation into the Mr Linky on the Imaginisce blog and be in the running for the uber fabulous prize of an i-top package or a $75US package of Imaginisce collections!!!
 My take on the sketch challenge...
I have used the new Cottage Christmas collection from Imaginisce and some of the gorgeous crystal snowflakes... which have definitely made it onto my favourite embellishment list! The picture below shows the medium crystal snowflake which I have used a white paintpen to define the outline and then topped with another gorgeous product to this collection... the Metal Snowflake Glitz.

Don't forget your must leave a comment on the Imaginisce blog to enter and then to increase your chances you can leave comments on the DT blogs as well!... good luck and thanks for stopping by!
From farm to you...
