Good Morning--it's October!
We are enjoying a couple of beautiful weeks of Indian summer, here in the Nation's capital.
However, this week's sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge, made me think of bundling up!
Maybe it was the poinsettia in the middle...
Anyway, I went with the wintry theme, creating a snowy background with the Swiss dots embossing folder, sanding the raised dots, then painting the bottom of the panel with white pigment ink, for a snow-drift effect.
I chose to interpret the fish-tail banner as a scarf, using the new Ruby Chevron ribbon from CTMH.
The sentiment comes from Very Merry Christmas, a retired CTMH set. I stamped it on patterned paper, matted with Ruby, then tucked it into a Lacy Rectangle Frame from Paper Wishes.
The wonderful grey felt rose comes from the Frosted Assortment-CTMH. It is mounted on a die-cut snow-flake from My Favorite Things.

Off you go to the Atlantic Hearts blog, where you can see more inspiration using this super sketch, from the design team. You have until Sunday night to create something of your own to share with us.
Hope you play along!
Happy crafting,
Caroline
