Although this sketch features 1 photo, my file folders open to reveal 4 more photos! 
This sketch challenged me to step out of my comfort zone by bringing out the spray ink and acrylic paint!  I really like how it turned out, and am looking for to the next sketch!

4 Crafty Chicks Challenge #120: Invitation

Welcome to my Guest Designer sample for 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge #120: Invitations
 
I chose to create an invitation to a New Years Celebration!
I decided to also embellish a matching envelope, and to create my invitation completely with items I already had in my stash!
 
I cut a flower shape with the Cricut and the Cherry Limeade cart.  Next, I  popped up our reindeer with foam dots. Ribbon strips were added using the Xyron 150!

I love square cards, so that is what I wanted as my final project result.
The reindeer ansterls and hooves are adorned with Stickles, as well as every-other scallop on the main card.  Alternating scallops are pierced with tiny brads!
 
 
I dotted Stickles all around the square cardstock on the tiniest polka dots of the pattern.
I also added Stickles around the edge of my die-cut shape made with the Sizzix machine.
 
 These 4 strips of green cardstock are the details of my party, and I placed them loosely in the envelope, so they tumble out upon opening!


I used these supplies and tools to create my invitation:
Archivers Yours Truly Chartreuse blank scallop notes & envelopes  (6 years old?)
Scenic Route paper, Grafton, Kennedy Street (4 years old)
My Minds Eye Quite Contrary Little Boy Blue "Little Man Growing Up" (2 yearsold)

Stickles in Cinnamon (2 years old)
Martha Stewart ribbon (2 years old)

All About Me Blog Hop


 
 
And I present my very cheery, very patterned layout that is all about me!
 
 
Here is the lineup for this blog hop - and you are visiting my blog, #7!
 
Shelley is offering BLOG CANDY, too!
 
  
 
I am very, very fond of distressing photo edges and paper edges, too! 
 

 
I like to use font stickers often, too, as my handwriting is unpredictable - and I like to trim them to different sizes! 
 
This blog hop was a true challenge for me, as I lately dislike having my photo taken!


I used these products to create this layout:
