It's time for another Sketchabilities reveal! Karan has another fabulous sketch up.

Early in December we got 14" of snow here in Minnesota and I couldn't resist taking some pics of my dog Satchel enjoying it. He was just so happy I went outside to play with him. Do you know how hard it is to photograph a black dog in the snow! Well I think I did ok. I love how I captured his energy and obvious pleasure. Here is my layout...

The journaling reads "Are you coming out too? Let's play!!". I am using Little Yellow Bicycle's Winter Twig for this layout. Negative space is something I have been playing with and on this layout I used a couple different snowflake punches. I am addicted to these punches, so fun! Here are some close-ups ...

I used gesso on the background to make it appear as if the snow was swirling across the page.

I applied liquid applique to my chipboard alphas. Once heated up, it puffs up and looks like snow! I really wanted to try a snow marker but could not find one in my local crafty stores.

I love the rosettes in the paper snowflake kit that is part of the Winter Twig collection. They are already pre-scored!

I am hosting a scrapping/football party today. My girlfriends are coming to scrap with me while our guys watch the Vikings versus the Packers football game. I am so excited!! GO VIKINGS!!!
