Guest Designer: Sketchy Thursdays - 15 December 2011 - Bear-y Christmas

Can you believe it, we're counting down to the last 10 days before Christmas??  Wow! The days do whiz by when you're having fun! :)

So, I am here again for another Sketchy Thursdays LO post.  This is the third one for my December GDT stint with them.  And I am really enjoyed creating this one.  The sketch is really versatile and I hope you'll have as much fun playing with it as I did! :)

I titled it Bear-y Christmas.  Here it goes...

The photos I used were taken over the weekend at an early Christmas Dinner with some of our dear Cookie friends at The Fullerton Hotel here in Singapore.

Here are some close up shots for  you...

Are you liking the "ribbon Christmas tree"? I thought that is a cool idea and very much fitting for this sketch! I glued green and red ribbons back to back and just went zigzag when applying the strip on my LO.

Here's the title and journalling...

The journalling reads...

"The Fullerton Hotel just has the most adorable Christmas display this year.  The huge tree they have on the lobby entrance is adorned with their signature Teddy Bears!  We just couldn't help but snap some photos of it.  And of course, we had our photo taken with it, too!"

Cookies @ Lakeside: The Improved Crafting Area

Anticipating the arrival of my latest toy (thanks to my very generous Hubby Cookie), I reorganised the crafting area. 

A quick purchase at Ikea for a sturdy shelf last Sunday and clearing my table and using an old computer table as an extension, and my area is set for long hours of creative practice. :)

What's inside the shelf?  Everything that used to be on the table. That's how much stuff I already have in my stash that needs to be put aside to make room for the Cricut Expression machine. :))

Okay, so let's get the party started. :)
