December Sketch at the Sampler

Hi!  It's sketch time over at The Sampler for the month of December.  The December kit, All That Glitters, is so Christmas-yummy!  Here's the sketch:

And here's what I did:

I kept the same basic plan, but moved the swirls on the side to the bottom of the page to anchor it more.  I used the "MERRY" tag in the kit, although the silver stamping didn't show up well on camera.  I used the gold paint dabber to outline the edges of the paper squares I used.  I just love how everything works together from this kit.  Everything on this page is from the kit (except the date stamp and the sewing thread).

Please play along with us for your chance to win a great prize from Scrapbookingsuppliesrus.com!  Create your own layout or card from this sketch and upload it to The Sampler's Flickr gallery to be entered.  This is my last sketch challenge as a design team member.... :(  To check out the new design team for 2012, check out this blog post introducing these awesome ladies!
