Well, CAS on Friday #147 is talking my language - make a Christmas card! I looked over my Christmas sets for one I haven't used as much as others, and out jumped Beautiful Blizzard - I really haven't been giving it the attention it deserves! Especially with that gorgeous Blizzard die to go with - love that die! I combined Balmy Blue & Night of Navy today - stamped and stamped off layers of the Balmy, and all my details in Navy - love these two blues together! I finished with some pretty silver snowflakes - beautiful bright details over the blues!

So excited about this week's sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #388 - we outdid ourselves, I believe! I thought I'd take a short break from Christmas today - how about a baby card? I haven't been using the Wonderful Moments stamp set enough, I don't think, and I love this image! I matched it up with the sweet ans soft Twinkle Twinkle papers, and had fun coloring in my lady. Love the finished card - perfect for an expectant mother! Can't wait to see how YOU handle our sketch - see you at the challenge!

So, I can't believe I'm saying this, but this one was a STUMPER for me! We don't really have many options for a wreath in the right size for the sketch, I felt like, at least not in MY stash, lol, and all my efforts to MAKE wreaths out of leaves or branches were pretty sad, I have to say! I FINALLY remembered that I still have the amazing Wondrous Wreath from back in 2014 - whew!! I decided to update it a bit with our latest colors, at least, and I think it makes for a cheery wreath!

To tackle today's "sketch," I went hunting for a set that I haven't inked in a while - Remarkable You has gorgeous line art to color, and that awesome "remarkable" sentiment to go with - done! I love that this can be simple or all dressed up - and I kept it pretty simple today. I laid down my lovely leafy branch first, and then stamped this blossom on some scrap to snip out. I colored everything with my Blends Markers - such smooth color and blending - my fave medium! A few Petal Pink sequins finishes it off! Remarkable You Stamp Set; Whisper White & Petal Pink CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Granny Apple Green, Pineapple Punch & Petal Pink Blends Markers; Basic Sequins in Petal Pink; #ICC32.

I decided to go for another scripture card today - my collection is getting pretty thin, shh! I have a new set from Our Daily Bread Designs that I decided to get inky today - and perfectly sized for my beloved Stitched Shapes framelits, lol. I've been really loving the scripture paired with the gorgeous pearly Frosted Floral papers, so I pulled a new sheet today to set off my Psalm! So happy to have a more lovely words to live by!

Today seems like another great day for coloring - so out came my Beautiful Baubles and my Blends Markers for a fun session, lol. I started by setting up a tone-on-tone background of the smaller baubles, then I had a time coloring in the large detailed one. I snipped it out and popped it up, added my sentiment and a cotton bow. A few sparkles later, and we are all set! I can't wait to see what YOU come up with - see you at the challenge, Fab-bers!

The very first I thought of was pulling out my beloved Gentle Peace set from back in 2014. I think it was a special holiday release when SU! first started dabbling in photopolymer. It's just so gorgeous! I knew I wanted to try coloring in the awesome central image on vellum, like a real stained-glass window! So I heat embossed the image, and did all my coloring on the back with my Blends Markers. To construct my window, I traced the wrong side of the stamp to create a slightly larger opening, and hand-cut. I tacked the vellum to the back around the edges, then pop-dotted the whole thing! I'm enchanted with how it turned out!

I'll be honest that a lot of today's inspiration is coming from my little catch-up binge on the Food Network's Christmas Cookie Challenge - after that, I couldn't wait to get upstairs and stamp me some cookies! Not sure that my icing looks as good as theirs, though, lol. At least I get to have sequins!

I knew I wanted to bring on some gorgeous DSP for this one, and of course that means my Frosted Floral pack! This woodsy colored sheet with just a touch of shimmer is another fave from this set, and I love the watercolor look, too. The delicate images made me think of another scripture collection, and this one from 1 Peter from Our Daily Bread's Scripture Series 3 was just right. So many great reminders in these collections! So, what did YOU come up with? I can't wait to see over at the challenge!

I love time travel stories... I thought of the lovely building-scape in Calling All Heroes right away - such a fun one to layer! I started by sponging on this bright sky that shows on the book cover, then I stamped a row of buildings. Then I stamped two more building rows on scrap white, extra long, so I could offset the layers some. I snipped them out, glued one flat and popped up the last one. I thought this sentiment from Adventure Awaits would go well with the scene - such fun! Now, off to the library to pick up my books, lol...
