I can’t believe it is Christmas Eve! The year has just flown by. I hope you are all ready for tomorrow! 🙂 Friday means it is Sketch Frenzy Friday time! We have another great sketch this week.

I began with Not Quite…
I played with a new technique the other day. The Creative Sketches blog had a Faux Cloisionne technique challenge. You use a glossy page from a magazine and emboss with gold.
