Snowflakes on Procreate, Giveaway, and Festive Snacks!
Happy Saturday CD fam!
I'm super excited to share today's blog post! Festive vibes comin' at ya!
I thought I would start with a cute and merry charcuterie wreath! I recently made this for a little game night with Justin, my sister, her boyfriend, and our two other good friends! This idea came from my good friend, Lauren! She is SO creative and has the BEST hosting ideas! I saw her make one of these recently, and I knew I had to give it a shot!
Below, you will find the one I created. It honestly didn’t take too long to make, and it didn't last long either! LOL!
Here's the list of materials/ingredients I used:
- a round pizza stone for the base. Ours has stains all over it (clearly, haven't cleaned it correctly over the years), but I filled in the wreath with little bowls of various nuts to cover them up a bit.
- toothpicks
- grape tomatoes
- pepperonis
- rosemary (to give it that Christmas wreath look! and it smells SO good!)
Also, I used the CD Holiday Lightroom Presets on these photos to give them a little merry and brightness look! :)
Okay, next up... I have a fun little Procreate doodle how-to!
In the video, I share a step by step snowflake tutorial using the Procreate app!
(link to Procreate Tips and Tricks class is here!)
and with that being said.... this leads us to the last Saturday holiday CD giveaway!

You were my inspiration for buying the new iPad and Apple Pencil because I just want to make cool things in procreate like you!! I haven’t had a chance to really play around since I bought it, because teaching is crazy right now 😣, but I would love to win this so that I can begin playing over my winter break!!

As a military family we have a rough year ahead of us and this would be a great distraction for my kids— especially 2 who are very into drawing lately! ❤️ One is getting an Apple Pencil for Christmas so it would pair perfectly! 😍

I'd love to win because it would give me inspiration & bring me joy during this winter break! I haven't been able to doodle on my ipad lately (teaching in 2020 & grad school) but it's so relaxing to me & I can't wait to use this break to doodle all of the things! @magicallyinthemiddle

I would love to win this stuff as I’ve already started investing in some of your pallets and brushes and am obsessed with doodling on procreate since graduating from grad school. I’d love to get better at it and eventually open an online shop for digital content!

I recently began practicing different skills and effects on procreate. My most recent was learning how to share by watching one of your stories lol!! I’d love to win this giveaway because Procreate seems so intimidating but I’ve always loved drawing (pencil & paper) and have a goal in 2021 to learn so much more on procreate for 2021!

PS: loved this snowflake tutorial

@malsmaking - I use procreate to help me de-stress. I find it very relaxing. I also love being creative and exploring different styles of doodling. I started following you a year+ ago and find you to be a true inspiration!!!

I would love to win this giveaway to take some time to relax and learn from you through the the Procreate classes. I’ve seen you share what others create after taking your classes and it’s inspiring. I also think that this would be a great way of self care. I am a teacher and would love to spend some time this winter break allowing myself time to be creative. It’s been too long since I’ve allowed myself to do that and it is much needed!

You have been my inspiration to use Procreate and start doodling. I bought a new iPad for Christmas so I’d have the ability to use the Procreate app. I’d love to have all things Procreate to show my love of drawing and make coloring pages for my students. I also want to be able to create fun wallpapers.
