{TSG133] Christmas Sweets

Hi there! Today at There She Goes, my coffee friend (although I just found out she drinks decaf, so we might have to start seeing other ppl;) and fellow trendsetter Melissa, is the hostess! She has given us this lovely picture to spark some inspiration;)
I know myself better than to get hooked on Pinterest (I think I have more than enough computer vices;), but I imagine that you can find alot of beautiful pictures on there that inspire! I'll have to ask Melissa if that's where she found this beauty....

This picture screams "WE HAVE NO KIDS, SO WE CAN HAVE NICE THINGS", but I decided to not make my card based on that first impression. Instead I took my inspiration from the colours (purple, brown , green and white), as well as all the sweets on the gorgeous dishes...Yum!!! My tummy was literally howling for chocolate when I was making this, but I was a good girl and showed restraint!!

I used Buckets Of Love (bucket and 'Sweetness') and BOL Holiday Additions (bucket fillers and 'May your holiday...' sentiment). These are really great sets to have and go together like PB&J, so you NEED both. There's no arguing and you may as well just go ahead and fill your boots. You'll be kicking yourself later if you don't;) Here is a close-up of the circles. I airbrushed the sentiment circle while still in the die and then stamped the sentiment. Everything was coloured with copics and I added stickles to the gingerbread men's icing bits. A big ol' bubbly white satin bow finishes it off (SU).  The layout is from an old Mojo sketch that I have used a few times!

 If Melissa's photo has your creative juices flowing, then get busy and make something, then link it up to the TSG blog for your chance to win some TSG bucks! We'd love to have you play along this week! You can also see more projects made using the inspiration photo, by TSG Trendsetters!
