Oo, there's a fun cue to kick off the New Year at CAS Christmas - "tag!" I am thrilled that our new birthday set Bonanza Buddies has a gorgeous stitched tag die with it - and look how cute it works for Christmas, too!! Lol. Turns out that several elements from Perfectly Plaid fit wonderfully on this tag - and since I went with the plaid tree, I had to pull in the Wrapped in Plaid DSP, too. Good - and cozy - times, lol. Even found a scrap of Shaded Spruce ribbon to include - perfect! Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set; Wrapped in Plaid DSP; Whisper White & Shaded Spruce CS; Shaded Spruce & Cherry Cobbler Inks; Bonanza Dies; Pine Tree Punch; Gold Glitter Enamel Dots; #CASChristmasTag.

Good times! Joy of Sets #13's first grid of the year is UP! Let's do this! I always have such a hard time picking my row, lol - took me half an hour this time! I finally settled on the diagonal Pearls - Hearts - Pink, especially after I realized could fit in my Love You to Pieces set - I love playing with the puzzle dies for this one! I don't think I've played with the heart arrangement before, though, and it's always good to get a chance to use ALL of what I have in a set! I couldn't settle on any particular pink, so I think I pulled most of them - and they actually look pretty nice together! A few pearls to finish, and we are all set! Love You to Pieces Stamp Set; Whisper White, Flirty Flamingo, Blushing Bride, Petal Pink & Rococo Rose CS; Flirty Flamingo Ink; Puzzle Pieces Dies; Basic Jewel Pearls; #JOSTTT013.

Let's jump right on restocking that Christmas box! For this one, the sketch made me think right away of featuring some festive papers, and I went back again to the amazing Night Before Christmas pack. It's so funny, I used the heck out of this paper, but I didn't get anything else from the suite - I found it so easy to match with other stamp sets - like today! This fun sheet of candy canes seemed just right for this fun sentiment from Cup of Christmas - and that stamp set also has a set of dies that includes a candy cane! It's like Christmas kizmet!

Oo, these are always fun - As You See It #216 has another "recipe" challenge to kick off the New Year - all about the sparkle and shine! This was a tough one to not just make straight off into a Christmas card, but then I finally remembered this awesome sentiment from High Tide, and realized it could go equally great with silvery snowflakes as lighthouses, lol. Yay! I found an old snowy embossing folder to use, added some gorgeous Feels Like Frost DSP and a few silver details, and finished with the lovely sentiment. So fun to just follow the recipe!

When I noticed that we had a "thank you" theme also going at TSOT, I knew straight off that I wanted to use our new So Sentimental set - lots of fun sentiments, all in pretty fonts, and best of all, it comes bundled with the gorgeous new Stitched So Sweetly dies - woo hoo!

I went on the prowl for something that hasn't seen ink in a while, and landed on Here's To Strong Women - I love this big bold sentiment! I was super excited to feature it in Blackberry, too, and I pulled in these lovely petal shapes from Tasteful Textures to go with as well, and stamped them off twice to get a nice color variance. Yup, I really am a purple girl, lol...

What a perfect time to break out my new Timeless Tropical set - this is a gorgeous new super suite - stamps, DSP, dies, embossing, trinkets, ribbon - this suite has everything, lol. I've tried to pull in a few of those items today! I couldn't wait to try out the beautiful palm trees in the set - they were first caught my eye. I've been doing a lot of inking up with markers letly it feels like - and I still love the look of multiple colors on one stamp! I added my second fave stamp of the pineapple, and couldn't quite resist this hibiscus trinket to finish Ahhh, only 88 days til I'm in Maui again - but who's counting??

Seeing this lovely off-center focus made me think of my too-long neglected scripture sets - how perfect to highlight one against a gorgeous background! I went digging and landed on this beauty from Psalm 19, and realized how perfect a sheet from our amazing Feels Like Frost Papers would be to go with - what perfect illustrations of the "work of His hands!" This came together so quickly, but I feel like it's just right...

All about the sugar plums at this week's Fab Friday #180! So, in my pre-order frenzy, I really couldn't pass up the upcoming Detailed Hearts die, and since it's also bundled with the Heart to Heart stamp set, I went for them both! I realized quickly that these colors could be awesome for an early Valentine, and adding in some of the die-cut hearts in our colors really reminded me of the candy conversation hearts we see - yummy! I added a sweet sentiment over all my crazy hearts, and even finished with some of the new Faceted Gems that go with - I like my Valentines SWEET!

I kept the focus on the images, and used this tiny two-part sentiment set, I think for the first time, lol. It finishes on the inside with "to thank you for all you do."
