~ sweet sketch wednesday ~

hiya chickies! wow ~ this week went fast ~ can hardly believe it's alreay december and christmas is just around the corner! and we might even get a green chrismtas ~ that white fluffy stuff is gone ~ whohoo! so with that said ~ i've been madly creating some christmas cards again this week ~ and snuck in a challenge from sweet sketch wednesday.

ok ~ it's not exactly the way the sketch is ~ as i flipped the centre square to make it look like a diamond shape ~ but nonetheless ~ here's my take on the challenge. and once again ~ i've been using my copics ~ playing ~ and coloring those scrumptious magnolias. thanks again to the dt over at SKW for your awesome inspiration. and thanks to donna c. for that scrumptious lace!

hope everyone has a rawkin scrappy happy week ~ i'll be gone next week ~ so, i'm not sure if i'll get to any scrappin ~ but, i'll be packing up my copics and doing lots of coloring ~ whohoo!

~thanks so much for visiting and leavin some lovin ~
