2015 Year In Review - Day 1

Hi everyone!  Today I would like to look back over the cards I created for 2015 and share some of my favorites for each month.

Today I will look at the first half of the year....

January
  I LOVE this color combo for Christmas.



February
 One of my favorite sentiments.



March 
Fun direct to paper technique.



April
Great way to add color without coloring.



May 
Love graphic stamps like this one.


June 
Masking and blending colors is one of my favorite techniques.

Thank you for visiting and taking a look back at 2015 with me.
I will be back tomorrow with the second half of the year.
Have a great day!

XOXO

Merry Monday #185


Hi everyone!
Time for another Merry Monday Challenge.
This week Nina challenges us to create a Christmas card with boots on it.

 I had nothing in my stash that fit this challenge.  Thankfully, I have lots of crafty friends that I can borrow stamp sets from.  Thank you, Catherine!!!  ;)  This was the case with this shoe stamp set by The Ton.  I LOVE these UGG boots and thought they were perfect for the challenge.  I stamped the outline images first and then went in with Soft Stone and Pure Poppy inks with the solid stamps.  SO EASY to line up!  LOVE that!!!!  The sentiment I had in my stash.  It fits perfectly with the images.

 Make sure you check out the other DT members cards over at the Merry Monday challenge blog.

 I hope you will join us!  
Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Stamps:  Holiday Lyrics, Shoe Wardrobe 2nd Ed. Solid & Outline (The Ton)

Whimsy 12 Days of Christmas Event - Day 7

Hi everyone and welcome to Day 7 of the Whimsy
12 Days of Christmas Event


For all the details please visit the Whimsy Blog.

For my project today I created some bottle tags using Oh Christmas Tree & Tag It! Christmas.


I stamped and embossed the tree and words using gold embossing powder.  I then used my clear block, inked it up with Distress ink, spritzed with water and stamped on the tree.  I LOVE the water colored frame it created.  These are super simple and easy to create for those last minute gift ideas.

Thank you for visiting and make sure you go check out the Whimsy Blog to participate in this fun event!

Have a great day!

Win the next Stamp of Approval Collection!!!!!


  You have a chance to WIN the next collection releasing in January!!  How?  It's easy!
You just create cards/tags etc. using the Holiday Magic Collection.
 Check out Catherine's post here for all the details and to link up.


I created a clean and simple, flat & easily mailable card using the Stamp of Approval Snowy Sayings & Holiday Flourishes stamp sets.  I stamped the leaves using green ombre inks to give a little dimension.  It is hard to tell in the photo, but I also stamped some of the flourishes on the card base in red for a tone on tone look.

I can't wait to see more inspiration using the Stamp of Approval Holiday Magic Collection over on Catherine's blog.
