Mele Kalikimaka

One of the things I love the most about the girls over at Jingle Belles is that they really know how to make the prompts they give us a lot of fun! And to push us to try out new things and create unusual stuff.

Prompt #13 "Mele Kalikimaka" wished us a very Hawaiian Christmas. Now, that was a prompt that made me happy and made me smile! A lot.

The cards Stef and Lauren created for us to showcase the prompt were so gorgeous that I really recommend you go over there (here) to soak up their inspiring designs.

I wanted to attack my scrap box again and decided to go with the bright colour route. I turned to Sketch Support once more using a sketch I'd used for my notecards back in April and it all came together so wonderfully.


And it used a lot of scraps in the process. I can see light at the bottom of my box at last!

I ended up making 6 colourful production-line cards using this simple design and all it needed to finish them off was a suitable sentiment and a sprinkle of bright coloured flowers!




I love the bright colours and the touch of whimsy to these. Some of my favourites this year I think.

How are you doing with your cards for "that" time of the year? Why not think about joining in. We'd love to see you over there (Jingle Belles blog here)
