    To You & Yours

    I think this design would work for either the holiday of Christmas ot Hannukah.
    From the Pacific Point cardstock I punched out snowflakes, covered with clear tape on back and added Dazzling Diamonds, cut out dove and ran through Xyron for sticky adhesive and then added more Dazzling Diamonds.
    Corner punch by EK Success and circle was decorated with swirl from the To You & Yours set and snowflake from Snow Burst. Paper is Ski Slope along with Baja Breeze.

    Under The Stars

    All supplies are SU only.
    This is for a few challenges that I combined today. The ways to use it challenge is to cut corners (ticket corner punch), my Doubledog Dare sister's challenge this week hosted by Francie G. to use the bleach technique (embossed stars in gold and then bleached out centers), and my local stamping pals Sharon and Julie for our weekly challenge to use a set we bought that hasn't seen any love.
    Card base Brushed Gold with Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White. Cut a Santa hat out of Real Red & White, sponged edges in Bashful Blue. Images colored in markers. Senteiment was embossed in gold and mounted with a Very Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware Frame. Presents are from the Punch Pals set, colored, cut out, and mounted to a length of linen thread.

    Advent Christmas Countdown Calendar

    My son was so excited about this project and can't wait to begin the countdown.
    All supplies used in this project are Stampin' Up. I stamped the Calendar base in chocolate chip,
    added month from the Full Calendar set in Real Red, dates are in Riding Hood Red and Old Olive from
    the set Calendar Alphabet & Numbers. I stamped off the snowflake from Punch Pals throughout the calendar
    just to give it a little extra color and interest. (Using Pretty in Pink and Celery markers and coloring the center
    portion only). The tree is from the retired Holiday Sampler stamped in Garden Green.
    Ski Slope designer paper for background along with Whisper White and Chocolate Chip.
    Embellished with buttons and the new laser cut felt snowflakes accented with Pretties Kit pearls.
    The stickers were circle punched from the I Wish scrappin' kit and are adhesive backed.

    I Wish Scrappin' Kit

    I've been working all day with the I Wish scrappin' kit and I'm not nearly done with half of the stuff that's in there. I love this and highly recommend it!
    I'll post all of the projects I made with this kit when I am through. So far I have completed eight 6x6 scrapbook pages ready for pictures, 6 cards, 1 candy holder card, and some gift tags and I've only used about a third of the kit.

    Carved & Candlelit Snowman

    Use a stamp in a way that is was not meant for, that was today's fun
    Limited Supplies challenge over at Splitcoast. Since I had Carved & Candlelit
    sitting on my desk after making some Halloween cards for the neighborhood kids
    I decide to use that somehow. I embossed the pumpkins in Iridescent Ice and built a
    snowman. Brads ( vintage black) and some stamps from Cold Play were used along
    with new Ski Slope paper and fancy non SU corner punch.

    Big Shot Baskets & Blooms

    Playing today with the Big Shot Baskets & Blooms die. By my third one I had the knack of adhering the bottom on fairly well. Practice, practice...
    Paper used was Ski Slope and Ghostly Greetings. Candy basket will be for my son's bus driver so in case she ever sees us running down the road in the pouring rain this year trying to catch the bus she will take pity on us and wait :)

    Paper is Ski Slope and Riding Hood Red designer series paper, with very vanilla wide grosgrain ribbon and hodgepodge hardware. Sketch is from Mojo Monday #47.

    House Of Haunts

    I embossed Victorian Lace background stamp on Basic Black in silver e.p. For the soot stamping I pressed the haunted house down into the freshly burned glossy cardstock to lift off some of the soot and then I stamped the same image over top this, a little off to the side in Basic Gray ink. Sprayed to seal. Mounted this up on dimensionals.

    Star Book

    The star book was from a kit so it went together pretty quickly, I used Cloud 9 Design paper for covers and a Pretties Kit flower, and white grosgrain ribbon. The inside is decorated just on the first couple of pages, I ran out of challenge time. I will finish inside, add pics and send it to my Billy's grandmother for Christmas.
