SCS Sketch #SC1093

I have been part of the Sketch team on Splitcoaststampers for a few years now. Whether it's my week to create the sketch (the first Wednesday of each month) or I'm creating a sample card based on the sketch someone else created, I find that having a sketch to use can get my creative ideas flowing. 

There is a new sketch to work with every Wednesday. I encourage you to check them out.

Marion created this week's sketch - #SC1093:

Creative Crew 2025 - December

It's posting day for the Creative Crew. What exactly is the Creative Crew? We are a group of 6 card-making friends from various US locations who have a fun monthly creative adventure with a secretive twist. 

Most months one of the group's members acts as hostess, meaning she chooses a theme and then sends each of the group members a theme-appropriate image and some designer paper. The host can also include a sentiment and/or special item if she chooses to do so. The group members all receive the same items, but there is to be no conversation about what was received or the cards we're making. Then, on the 15th of the month, we all reveal our cards.

Occasionally we shake things up and instead of having a hostess we have a common theme and everyone uses her own supplies for the card. This is one of those months. 

Color/Sketch

Barb chose a color combination by randomly choosing a card from her Color Cube.

I created a sketch.

It's going to be fun to see the cards the Creative Crew members make with these colors/sketch.

Here's my card:

3M Grinch-Mas

Kelly, Barb, and I have been creating together as the Three Musketeers every month since November 2014. We all three create a card using the same image. I always enjoy seeing how different our cards are, even though we use the same image. This is one of my favorite posts of the month. 

We take turns choosing what stamp will be used. This month it was my turn. I chose the Crackerbox Grinch and Saying stamps.

Here's the inside of my card:

Be sure to check out Barb's and Kelly's cards, too...
