Oh goody, As You See It #240 has another "recipe" challenge for us this week! These are so fun! So, I went with my usual attempt at combing as many of the "ingredients" as I could - in this case, snowflake and diecut could be one, and red patterned paper could be another, and that left only twine to make sure I got in there somehow! This wound up being one of my infrequent "no stamping" cards, too - it really doesn't happen much! I went back through my old dies and pulled out the gorgeous Snow Flurry - love layering this one, and then I remembered that I have sentiment dies, too - I have NOT used these that much this year! Anyway - recipe complete! Yum! Heartwarming Hugs DSP; Whisper White & Silver Foil CS; Snow Flurry, Rectangle Stitched & Word Wishes Dies; Retired Red Flower Button; Silver Baker's Twine; #AYSI240.

OK, I LOVE The Male Room #145's challenge to use tartan or plaid - so fun! I couldn't resist breaking out a new suite for this one - here's a little sneak peek at Handsomely Suited, our awesome new "suit" set! Wait'll you see the rest of the dies, it's AMAZING, but for today, I had to show off the gorgeous manly DSP that coordinates - SO PRETTY! Lots of textile patterns and styles in this one, for every stylish guy and gal, for sure! I think hubby has a shirt in almost this exact background pattern, lol, but he's not a bow-tie wearer, even though these are the cutest, if I do say so myself!

We have a beautiful inspiration pic at this week's Retro Rubber #149 - perfect before they go on Winter break! I couldn't resist pulling out my still all-time fave Christmas Sentiment set - from Tin of Tags. The fonts, the variety, a couple extra image details - SWOON! I cut a few Stitched Stars from the inspiration pic, and added a few sprigs to go with - simple, country, and it really evokes the image for me! So fun!

I hope you like our lovely banded sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #487! It's perfect for carrying on our Christmas theme at SU Only #264, too! A set I haven't used enough, though I'm burning through the PAPER, lol, is Warm Hugs, and the accompanying Wrapped in Christmas. While these sets are presented with the little novelty cups, I've been playing with them on cards and tags - love the different layering combos we can achieve! Today's card uses some of my fave papers, and a sweet sentiment in a pretty stamped border - gorgeous! I sure hope you can get in on the fun with us at BOTH challenges! See you there!

CAS on Friday #194 has the perfect winter challenge ready for us - "snow!" This one was a bit of a challenge for me, because {GASP} I didn't get any of the lovely snow sets in our Holiday catty this year, lol. I have so many gorgeous snowflakes already! However, I wanted to use something current, and I do still have my Snowman Season set - which has the perfect sentiment! I kept simple by floating everything on this lovely snowfall sheet from our Trimming the Town DSP pack, and did a quick little snow-guy out in the fun! With the Snowman Builder Punch, it was even super quick! Snowman Season Stamp Set; Trimming the Town DSP; Whisper White, Real Red & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Misty Moonlight Inks; Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Granny Apple Green & Basic Black Blends Markers; Snowman Builder Punch; Layering Circles Dies; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; #CASOF194.

There's a nice big field for us to play in at this week's Fusion "Merry, Joy, Cheer" challenge! I couldn't resist showing off some pretty DSP, and I got to thinking how this sheet from Trimming the Town has so many sentiments, to go with all the word clues in the inspiration pic, too! I had to add on my happy little hug-ready gnome, too, and coloring him in gave me an embarrassing realization: I have a set of Misty Moonlight Blends, and they weren't even opened!! I'm pretty sure I've been using my Stamp-n-Write marker, forgetting that I had these babies waiting to go, sigh. They've been sitting right there all this time!! Picture me blushing!!

This is a fun one - The Sisterhood of Crafters is bringing us "shaped" projects this week - no rectangles! I decided I really wanted to do an easel card, and I went back to my very first die that came with my very first Big Shot - the Top Note Die! It's not quite a rectangle, right? I wanted to get some ink on my Perfectly Plaid set, too - as a carry over set from last year, I suspect its days are numbered, lol. I found this Decorative Label Punch while I was digging out my Pine Tree Punch - it goes great with the Top Note shape! I also had a few candy embellies left from my last Paper Pumpkin - love these!

We have SUCH a cute sketch for you all this week at Fab Friday #203! Come play with us! I'm still not too burnt on Christmas Cards yet, so I took my sweet Tag Buffet set out for another spin - I love this classic ornament! None of the set's sentiments suited me today, lol, so I pulled this one from Itty Bitty Christmas - so many awesome ones to choose from there, and I go back to this one again and again! I think it's more about the shape for me, lol. I can't wait to see what YOU do with our sketch this week - meet you over at the challenge!

Oo, love the sketch this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments #353! Joy, indeed! After a bit of dithering, I decided to build a little scene with my Coming Home suite - I so love all the elements in this one! I started with my fave tree DSP for my card cover, Then did up the tag shape with my Stitched Nested Labels, and got started on the scene. I layered the tall skinny house with the tiny one to add a bit of depth, filled in some trees, and finished with a bright red VW Bug. This little sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas was just perfect in a sideways Stitched Label, too! My little cabin in the woods!

What a perfectly timed cover The Library Challenge #73 has for us this week! Love this story! I'll be honest, my favorite memories of this one are reading it to my daughter - we have a pop-up version from Hallmark that has super cute illustrations, and it was always fun to sit together and do the reading while she worked the pop-ups. The "visions of sugarplums" wheel was definitely her fave! Anyway, when I went through my shelves of retirement, I found JUST the sentiment in 2016's Greetings From Santa, so I built a scene with 2019's Hearts Come Home - so perfect together over the Trimming the Town DSP! Hearts Come Home (retired 2019) & Greetings From Santa (retired 2016) Stamp Sets; Trimming the Town DSP; Whisper White & Misty Moonlight CS; Misty Moonlight & Versamark Inks; White EP; Hometown Greetings Dies (retired); Adhesive Backed Snowflakes; #TLC73. |
