The 52nd challenge of LIM is here - next week it's their first birthday - who hoo! I for one can't remember what I used to do on Saturday mornings before last February..... This challenge is a sketch - a simple strip on a landscape oblong
http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/2012/01/week-52-sketch.html I decided to combine it with the challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown which is to use a minimum of 3 gems on your card.

I stamped a WM bauble onto teal, embossed it in silver and cut it with the matching nestie. I added the 3 gems to the centre of the stamp and faked some small ones with glitter below. I added a strip of snowflake DP and attached the bauble by hand back stitching a cord for it to dangle from and a tiny bit of tape to secure the bottom. I finished with a teal sentiment in the position to match the LIM sketch.
Can't wait to see what the birthday challenge is ladies :-)
I love stamp/die combos... makes me think I should get some more!
