{one hour} sketch challenge

About once a month, My Sketch World does a fun activity, a One Hour Sketch challenge!  Lucy gives us a brand new sketch (or sketches for a card challenge) and we have one hour to complete a layout using the sketch.  We are generally given a few hints by the challenge hostess before hand so we know what size/orientation of photos we will need and maybe a few hints about embellies and such.  Bev was this week's hostess and did a wonderful job, throwing in a bit of a twist with an inspiration photo to go with the sketch.  I have yet to complete the sketch in one hour! *laugh*  But, I like to play along and watch the other gals do their stuff!  I finished mine today and wanted to share it.

Here is the fabulous sketch:
 
Here is my take on it: Snow Fun

Here is a close-up of the foam snowflakes that I sprayed with 2 colors of Glimmer Mist:

I love the way they turned out.  I dried them a bit with my heat gun so they curled up a bit, which I like.

Happy Monday, friends.

    I haven't seen a layout from you in what seems like ages, Jan. You did great with this challenge. I always admire how you can take a square challenge (12 x 12) and do some recombobulating to make it a 8.5 x 11 rectangle. That's remarkable to me! Your snowflakes look awesome!

    Every time I see a pic of that little guy...he gets CUTER!!! :) Way to rock the sketch, girlfriend! Love how you put "snow" at the top and then "fun" at the bottom. Very cool snowflakes! p.s. when I hear "one hour sketch" I made a mad dash for the door. LOL!!
