![]() Yay! The Sisterhood of Crafters would like to see something musical this week, and I have just the thing! I have been wanting to try out my new Merry Melody EF for a while now, so glad to finally have the perfect chance! I paired it up with this lovely sentiment from Christmas to Remember - every time I look at it, I hear Bing baby singing it out, lol! I floated everything over some Evening Evergreen, embossed my music sheet on Crumb Cake, and sponged it up a tiny bit with Soft Succulent. I used markers on my sentiment so I could do two colors, and tried out my holly leaves in Succulent/Evergreen today - so pretty! Time to put the carols on!

![]() Yay! So excited to see that Retro Rubber # 172 has a cute sketch for us this week! I'm SO in Christmas mode here still, lol I immediately went to my retired Christmas Shelf of Retirement - what has a likely image I can double up for the sketch? I quickly eyed Smitten Mittens from 2017 - how perfect! I can even fudge the sentiment a little, I think, lol. I decided to combine with some scraps from my Peaceful Prints DSP pack, leftover from our most recent SAB - cant get enough of this snowy plaid, and now the birch sheets are growing on me! I so love how this came out - hope I chose the right red, too, lol.

It's time for a final challenge of the year at Sparkles Christmas Challenge #131, and we want to see you celebrate in non-traditional colors! For me, I went to my color towers and picked the three unlikeliest colors i could think of, lol. How about some trees in these babies?? You see where my title came from, right? Maybe it's a Northern Lights effect, but I can kinda see these crazy trees growing on me, lol. I added a few accessories in coordinating colors, and had to stop before I went TOO far. Too late, maybe?? I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our crazy challenge - meet you there!

I'm also delighted to add in our gorgeous colors at Hand Stamped Sentiments #378 - Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Merry Merlot! With colors like these, it was hard not to think Christmas, so I rolled with it! With the greens and the merlot, I knew I had all I needed for some rich poinsettias, so I pulled out the gorgeous dies and went to work, finishing with a few subtle Genial Gems. Once again, the all over background really spoke to me, perfect for setting everything off! I can't wait to see what you make with both our challenges this week - meet you there!

These gorgeous colors reminded me so much of the rich papers in our Tidings of Christmas pack, I had to use them! I picked a couple of my favorite sheets and pulled together a layout - simple but effective! Then I realized that doing an all-over layer for the front would give me even more pop - I love it! A few holly details really add to the finished look, along with my fine strand of Cherry Cobbler Linen Thread. It really all came together! I can't wait to see YOUR projects with our festive colors - meet you at the challenge!

I'm starting off with a great one, too - As You See It #264 is all about pets! I'm also excited that this challenge gives me the perfect chance to finally fussy-cut this adorable Golden Retriever from our Sweet Stockings DSP - yes, this image is the whole reason I went for this entire suite, lol. We love ALL labs in this house (two chocolates live here, with their blue Weimaraner sister) and this little trouble maker has been making me smile ever since this catty came out! I just couldn't resist! I can't wait to see YOUR pets in action, too - meet you at the challenge!

I can just squeak in! As always, this was so much fun! I couldn't stop thinking of some kind of kraft-white combo, so I went a variation of that, and expanded my browns a bit, lol. I used BOTH Wintry EFs for my background textured layers, and punched out this trio of plaid trees to go over it. A triple stranded Linen Thread wrap covered my "twine," and I went straight to this old Christmas Greetings die for my one-word sentiment. I'm so happy with how this came out, love these plaid trees!

Well, I had to break out my beloved Painted Christmas DSP for this one - that paper just ticks all my holiday boxes, lol. I also tried my hand again at "customizing" a Tailored Tag for sentiment - I love it! Basically, I ran the tag a second time through the cutting machine, just to take a bite off the end so it fit perfectly - works like a charm! A few Gilded Gems add the final touch. I cant wait to see YOUR projects for our challenges - come join the fun! Meet you there!

I'm obsessed, lol... Something else I've been obsessed with these days is fussy cutting all the cuties out of the just past SAB paper, Penguin Playmates! What's not to love about polar bears, foxes and penguins all dressed to the nines, playing in the snow?? For today's card, I picked out three critters, and some cute trees to go with. I think this sentiment from Penguin Place sums it all up for these guys, too, lol.

I couldn't resist dipping back into my dwindling supply of Heartwarming Hugs DSP - I love these sheets so much! I want to make sure I really maximize using it since it came back for a second run, lol. I added some layered wreath dies from the Seasonal Swirls set, and mixed in some "painted elements" from Christmas Season and Christmas to Remember. Love these bold greens with our Real Red, too! Such a pop! A few tiny Brushed Gold Dots finish us off! I can't wait to see YOUR takes on our wonderful sketch this week - meet you at the challenge!
