We have such a wide-open sketch for you all this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #428! This is our last challenge of the year, too, so make sure to jump on it! This sketch just cries out for some gorgeous DSP to show off, so I couldn't resist pulling in a sheet of our beautiful O Holy Night pack - love all the starry sky and desert landscapes in this one so much! I matched it with last year's (but still current!) Hope & Peace stamp set - so many great sentiments in this one! I think this is the one I've used the most, too, lol. I added a few of our old Adhesive-Backed Stars for a bit more sparkle, too - still love the shape of these! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our lovely sketch - meet you at the challenge!

We have some fun festive colors for you this round at Sunday Stamps #323! With these muted colors, I decided to finally pull out my Shop The Town set, lol. I actually bought this in reflex because it goes along with the Let's Go Shopping suite, which I already had. I've always had a little fascination with buildings in stamp sets! But this one had me stumped - I have to admit, there are definitely some stamps in this one I'm not sure how I'll use - it might take me some time to decipher! For today, I went with that pretty outdoor tree, and doctored up the arch to be taller to go over it. And I had to have the carolers, too - of course! I also love this sentiment! I can't wait to see YOUR projects with our cozy Christmas colors - meet you at the challenge! Shop The Town Stamp Set; Basic White & Cherry Cobbler CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; SU900, Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, Pecan Pie & Smoky Slate Blends Markers; Silver Pearls; #SSC323. This should be interesting - For If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #186, the color is white this month! Yikes! I decided to combine white with some sparkle, and created this lovely glittery scene with the glorious Forever Forest dies! I finally got to use that pretty mountain line, which was the big reason I wanted this set in the first place, lol. I set my snowy mountains along the bottom, then tucked in and added some beautiful firs cut from Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Paper - what a job! I'm really loving the look, and I added this sentiment from Above It All to go with, along with a few tiny silver pearls. Pretty! Forever Forest & Above It All Stamp Sets; Basic White & Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer CS; Smoky Slate Ink; Forever Forest Dies; Silver Pearls; #Cookie186. So happy to be back again for the second "add a hat" post at Christmas Craft Creations! I just love this theme! For today's hat card, I decided to go for some well-dressed snow people, lol, and there's no cuter than in our lovely Snowman Magic set from last year! So many choices! I put together a lovely snow-couple finally, I just can't resist that fashionable "Breakfast at Tiffany's" number she has, and of course, her date had to be maximum dapper with a top hat! I floated them over some flocked Snowflake Vellum, to set the scene, and then added this pretty snowflake frame you can make with the dies - I think this is their Christmas portrait! I can't wait to see YOUR projects with hats - see you at the challenge!

Time for another tic-tac-toe at this round's Retro Rubber #220! As soon as I saw the "snowman" square, I knew I wanted to do one of the rows that would include THAT, lol, so I chose the center column of snowman-pattern paper-tag! I was so excited to pull out my favorite snowman set of all time, 2009's Snow Buddies! I LOVE the delicate line art in these cuties! Since it doesn't have sentiments, I paired it with this fun one from last year's Framed & Festive - looks perfect on my Tailor Made Tag! I chose this snowy sheet from my old Storybook Gnomes DSP pack, which set the colors in the blue range - so pretty for snowmen, lol.

The holidays are approaching, and we want to see your wreaths at Make My Monday #214 this round! I went straight for my Wishes All Around bundle for this one, and today I paired it with the gorgeous Joy of Christmas DSP! I opted to go for just some layered die cut wreath from the dies, and floated this pretty and classic sentiment over them - I never get tired of this look, lol. I added some Iridescent Discs for a bit of bling, and finished with a simple gold cord bow! I can't wait to see YOUR wreaths for this one - meet you at the challenge!

Such a cute theme they have for us this round at Cupcake Inspirations #582 - "home sweet home!" I knew just what I wanted to pull for it, too - the cute little cottage in the last Paper Pumpkin kit - Home For The Holidays! I decided to do two, colored up like the cuties on the cupcake pic, THEN I made their setting, lol, a little backwards today! I blended up a night sky over a torn piece of paper for my "hill," in Misty Moonlight. I wanted it to be a little brighter, so I went back over the edge of it in Blueberry Bushel. I didn't like the Pumpkin sentiments for this one, so I pulled my old Hearts Come Home set from 2019 for this one. There was even a Santa sleigh in it for my sky! I tried a moon and stars in Delicata Silver, but they really don't show well enough, so I finished with some Snowflake Sequins. Pretty cute, I think!

We're continuing the holiday spirit with a Christmas theme this round at As You See It #312! Time to jingle! I really had the coloring bug today, lol, so I went to my Shelves of Retirement and pulled the still lovely Bright Baubles set from 2021! These pretty ornaments are SO fun to color, and look how cool it looks floating over a panel of Lemon Lime Twist embossed with my just-acquired Christmas Tidings EF! I kept my big bauble front and center, lol, and finished with a few Sparkle Gems - can't believe I almost missed these beauties!

Such a striking color presentation at this round's AAA Cards #252 - I'm loving the purples! I saw plenty of inspiration to make a Christmas card with these lovely colors, too, so that's just what I did! I have Christmas on the brain all the time these days, lol. I decided to play with sponging color on this fun stamp from the Wishes All Around set - I have a lot of wreath sets, but nothing with this cool ring of trees! I started by inking it up in Pool Party, then daubing on some Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss. I felt like the Freesia didn't show as much as I wanted, so I cut my background wreath from that, and added some Tinsel Gems, too. My sentiment went right in the middle in Blackberry - love how this came out!
