Happy Winner - Guest Designer spot for The Memory Nest

I have great news to share for this first day of December. I was asked to be a Guest Designer for The Memory Nest Make it Monday.

The first challenge for December at The Memory Nest - Make it Monday is a sketch, and we were asked to use stamping on the background.

Here is my layout.....

I choose this picture of my daughter last year at a ScrapMuch? retreat when she was the lucky winner of a Silhouette Portrait!!!! Hence the title - Happy Winner!

And here are some closeups....I stamped my background with a chevron stamp from Recollections and also a Stampin' Up Circle stamp both using Tim Holtz ink.

The title was created with a scrap metal word by Petals & Possiblities and red Thickers.

I added some MME wood hearts and metallic dots.

The papers I used are MME - All is Bright. I layered up under the photo and added a piece of Craft Smith Holiday Burlap and ribbon by The Ribbon Boutique around the photo and the banner at the top.

Here is the fabulous sketch from The Memory Nest......

Be sure to link up your projects for a chance at a wonderful prize or if you are really lucky you will be asked to be a Guest Designer like I was.

I would like to thank Leslie for this AWESOME opportunity!!!

Stay tuned later this month as I have more to share with you as a Guest Designer at The Memory Nest.

I was also inspired by the new challenge blog Picture This Challenges and the challenge is 

1 photo + Christmas + paper strips + layers

Stay Crafty!!!
