December 15th Challenge



Hi everyone! Welcome to another challenge here at Once Upon A Sketch...Its 10 days until Christmas! Can you believe it? 


December 15th Challenge

Journalling Criteria/themeOur Christmas traditions. 

We would love to hear how everyone spends Christmas Day. Even if you do NOT celebrate Christmas, what do you do on Christmas Day?

Remember that you are allowed to also create a card or altered project based on this sketch and instead of the journalling criteria you need to use a quote. 

Guest Designers

Ivana Camdzic  (Canada) 
Ivana says: "The quote I used doesn't have too much to do with Christmas, but since the only family we have here in Canada is our friends, we spend the holidays with them and that is one of our new traditions during the holidays. So I decided to create a card about friendship"

Our runner up from our November 15th Challenge
Rachael Funnell  (Australia) 



THANK YOU so much Ivana and Rachael for being our Guest Designers this month...this BUSY and CRAZY month! We loved having you here and hope to see you again.
