stamp set - Hang Your Stocking; ink - Real Red; card stock - Whisper White, Real Red; designer series paper - Candy Cane Lane; Big Shot with Stitched Shapes, Layering Circles, and Layering Ovals framelits
I bought too much designer series paper, again (I can't stop myself, it's all wonderful!), so I've been concentrating on making cards in series to cut back on leftovers; this week it's been Candy Cane Lane. Originally I laid out this card on the dotted background, and used the scalloped layering circle framelits. Then I noticed the unused white stitched oval sitting on my work space and realized it was perfect for the sentiment. so I had to remake the medallion to incorporate the stitching. Since the circles were a bit smaller, the whole card seemed a little lackluster on the dots, so I set aside the base as well as the medallion (I should have checked the layout before gluing) and went looking for another sketch to put them to work. I think this one from Fab Friday worked well:

Very cute projects! I love the mix of designer papers. Thanks for joining us at Fab Friday, hope to see you again soon!
I think this little candy cottage is the cutest thing in our DSP this holiday - love it! Great mix for our sketch - thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
So sweet for the holidays! Glad you joined us at FMS!
I always buy too much DSP too! I always tell myself that I can use the leftover next year but then I go and buy current paper and they cycle never ends! I really like your 2 designs here! It's so smart to use the images from the DSP instead of always stamped images. The peppermint candy holding your sentiment banner on the second card is a great idea! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
How sweet! What a great showcase of this wonderful paper. Thanks for playing along with this FabFriday sketch challenge!
I think you have a great idea to make a card series in order to use up your paper. LOVE your take on our sketch!
