Flourishes Design Team creates with PageMaps

Every quarter, Becky Fleck of PageMaps dishes out 10 fabulous sketches to get those creative juices flowing with her CardMaps. Well, this month some of the lovely ladies from Flourishes did the honors and took her sketches to bring CardMaps to life with beautiful and creative samples for each and every sketch. To check out CardMaps for September, click here (www.pagemaps.com) and then click on the CardMaps link on the left.

I chose the beautiful Cherries and Peaches set from Flourishes. I love this set and thought the cherries were the perfect images for the small squares. I colored with the Copics

Check out what the rest of the Flourishes gals created:

Blue Christmas


Secondly, it is time for another Monthly Christmas challenge. This month our theme is Blue Christmas. I chose the sets Christmas Music (for the sentiment and heart) and Forest Of Trees.
This beautiful ribbon is the Silk May Arts ribbon that Flourishes carries.. LOVE this stuff.  The 
rhinestones are also from Basic Grey and are available in the Flourishes embellishments section.


Come join the fun and get going on your Christmas collection.. Create a card with blues and upload to your gallery on Splitcoaststampers.  Use the key word FLLCNOEL5.  You can also 
link your card from your blog into the Flourishes Member Forums over in the forum section
on Splitcoaststampers.

    Hi Dawn,
    I love the cherry card, when I saw the sketch the first thing I thought of was the cherries. You had the same thought I saw as I scrolled down. So pretty!
    I hope you don't mind I just had to try the pumpkin card you made the other day, it was so fun to make and I love the idea!

    Thanks for the sweet encouraging comment you left on my blog. Its good to know I'm not the only mom who worries. I was beginning to think there was something wrong with me.

    Dawn, your cherries card is an absolutely perfect use of both the sketch and the small image. Love the paper you used, too. And your Christmas card -- marvelous! What a cute idea to make a heart from the sheet music background! Also very clever to place the square rhinestone at the base of the tree. Just love both cards!

    Hi friend, what a great sketch for those lil cherries...I can imagine mine would not look nearly as straight, but you pulled it off, colors, design, beautiful country accents!!! Wow!!
    And the second is exquisite in blue and those sparkling rhinestones!
    I have never heard of the sketch site, will definitely have to check this one out!
    Hugs to you!
