Poster Sketch: Sugar Plums

No matter what denomination you are, or how you feel about the holidays, there is no denying that December is a time for delicious treats. There are pies and tarts, candies and chocolates, and a lot of fancy cheese. This is the only time of year when you can get a carton of eggnog, or 20 kinds of shortbread at any store. December is also the time of year when we roll up our sleeves and make things from scratch, because it’s worth it to make something a little extra special.

One holiday treat that I’ve never had the pleasure of sampling is the sugar plum. One hears about them all the time - visions of them dance in our heads. I always pictured some kind of purplish cake made with juice and sprinkled with sugar. Apparently they’re just round candy.

Nonetheless, this week’s Poster Sketch is dedicated to juicy oranges and purples - the colors of sweet plums.

    Would you mind sharing how you post from poster sketch to your blog. I've created treasuries and always had to loss the information once they expire. Would love to share them on my blog.
    Thanks

    Thanks everyone for stopping by to see the collection, and for creating such delicious pieces!

    Christine: Poster Sketch and Treasuries can be saved by taking a screenshot. Of course the links don't work, but you can then use the image any time you want. Once you've captured the screen, you can cut away the excess with MS Paint and upload it to your hosting site, Facebook page, etc.

    I will post a full tutorial later this month with step-by-step details to share with everyone!
