Scrap Our Stash Saturday Cartoon Inspired Sketch Challenge

Hello, hello! Good Sunday morning to you! I hope that you have had a good weekend! It's been a pretty quiet weekend around here - which is always nice this close to the holidays - and I'd better enjoy it because we the next couple of weekends are going to be busy with Christmas festivities!

Today I am sharing my layout for Scrap Our Stash's December Saturday Cartoon Inspired Sketch Challenge. Along with the sketch, we are to be inspired by the cartoon graphic and include the color Gold and a bow on our layout. Here's a look at the December graphic:

I was inspired to create a Christmas layout, of course!

I have used Doodlebug's 'Christmas Magic' on this layout. The colorful background piece that I have matted my layout on is the Christmas Magic paper and looks like a countdown or advent calendar paper. I loved the colorful blocks and how it brought in all of the colors of the collection. 

For the added challenge of using the color gold - I have added 3 gold puffy hearts around my layout, and I added 2 bows - one for each tag that will eventually hold my journaling. 

These photos are of Miss Ada last year when she opened up her Barbie house - the one thing that she most wanted last year! The hard part for her was having to wait until they got back home to put it together!

Here are a couple of close-ups:

Head on over to Scrap Our Stash to see the wonderful layouts from the rest of the design team. I would love to see your take on the challenge, too!
