Curvy Christmas Love

Oh this is excellent - 52 Christmas Card Throwdown has a nice long challenge running this month - giving me time to play!  As an added bonus, I get to pick any of their past challenges to do it!
I didn't have to go back very far, lol, I'm going with their November sketch!  I love tilty layers, and what a great chance to keep on using up the gorgeous scraps of my Heartwarming Hugs DSP!  I did a pretty embossed background with my Tin Tile EF, and hand-snipped this curvy little wish from Itty Bitty Christmas.  So cute!

Sunday Pear Tree

We have a perfect holiday sketch for you this week at Sunday Stamps #246 - though I can't help but think "any shape" too, shhh...
OK, I'll compromise, how about instead of "any shape," we go with "any tree," lol.  A pear tree, to be exact, with a cute little partridge perched in there, too!  I can't quite let go of this cute set from 2014, Partridge & Pears, it's such a fun one to color!  I'm always up to take the Blends out for a spin, lol, especially when I get to fussy cut at the end of it!
I can't wait to see what you come up with for this one - see you at the challenge!

Joy of Snowflakes

Aw, I'm sad to see that Joy of Sets #024 is closing the challenge - what a good run!  These gals finally got me to embrace tic-tac-toes!
I settled pretty quickly on the right-hand column - Glitter-Snowflakes-Boughs.  That last one made me think right away of our gorgeous Feels Like Frost DSP, and its stunning photo-real sheets.  I found one of these frosty pine branches that's just right!  I went to check out the retired bundle that goes with, just to see what I could do for my other squares, and lo and behold, there was a little snow flake die in there, and this sweet sentiment in the stamps - perfect!  I matched everything with some Shaded Spruce details, of course, and I'm all set.  Thanks so much for the good times, JOS!

Snow Flurry

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!

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!

Yes!!  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!

Trimming the Gnome

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!!

Top Note Christmas (& Spring Mini Preview Class Dec 12!)

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!
