![]() Another gorgeous theme over at Less is More #455 - Winter Whites! I don't do too many white-on-white cards, but this should be fun! After a little digging, I landed on our still-current and still-gorgeous Poinsettia Petals bundle. I took a look at the dies - I'm not sure that I've ever used all the detail dies on the layered petals - perfect! I couldn't resist adding just one Beaded Pearl embellishment - they were made for this set, and I barely ever used them , lol. I used Smoky Slate for my sentiment - not too off for the white theme!

![]() What an amazing Christmas challenge from As You See It #262 - what sums up Christmas for us? WOW! There are so many things I love about Christmas: the tree, the decorations, the FOOD, the gatherings, the stories, even the gifts... But, all these things are a joyous celebration in memorial of one BIG thing - the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. As I have grown in fellowship and worship with my brothers and sisters in Christ, and contemplated His impossible model and what it means for me, I realize with joy that ALL are my neighbors, to celebrate with the same joy He does. May His peace rule us, this day and always.

I also tried to stay off my Sparkle of the Season bundle - that seems like my go-to for everything these days, lol. But I really needed those pinecones, darn it! Anyway, I started with Evergreen Elegance, when I noticed that two of those pretty pine swags backed together would make a good oval shape. Then I could run the sentiment banner over that. That took care of all my colors except for the Mango, and I thought I'd mix in stars somehow when I finally just broke down and went for the Mango background - I can put stars on that, right? It was a very backwards process for me, lol, as you can see, but not too shabby, if I say so myself! Evergreen Elegance & Sparkle of the Season Stamp Sets; Very Vanilla.

I am so thrilled to play at this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments #376 for my very first challenge as a team member! As soon as I saw this gorgeous inspiration pic, I knew I wanted to pull in the lovely Painted Christmas DSP - but do I have a deer that would work? Of course! I still have Nature's Beauty to choose from, and even though she's a doe instead of a stag, I'm fine with that, lol. I'm still having fun playing with all the great dies in our Seasonal Labels dies, too, so of course I had to pull in those sets, too. I so love the finished look! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for this beauty of an inspiration - meet you at the challenge!

It's already November 1, so we have a new challenge out at Sparkles Christmas Challenge #130 for you - presents! I found a set or two with presents that I like - cookie presents being at the top of the list, but then I spotted my So Santa set - I'm not just sure if I've used this cute-as-a-candy-cane scooter image before! Certainly not recently! So "Santa Scooter" it is! I dithered for about a second wondering if I should do the scooter in green, but hey, the sleigh's red, too, right? I love this little present pack on his back - that's Santa! Getting 'er done! I can't wait to see YOUR presents in action - meet you at the challenge!

So today's post is a "warts and all" kind of post, lol. For these colors, I wondered if I could get a cool winter sunset kind of effect with Welcoming Woods. I tried to do a gentle wash of colors for my background with the Blending Brushes - but check out that strange swirl in the upper right corner! It's from the strange acne that appears on my Rich Razzleberry pad (and a few others in that color family, lol) and they made concentrated little chips of color on my brush. Kinda cool, though not intentional! Then, in an effort to make sure my trees showed up OK, I actually over-inked my Smoky Slate pad, so there's no birch detail on the tree trunks, lol. But they show great against the colors! What an adventure! I'm actually OK with the final result - some accidents CAN be happy!

It's PERFECT for our catty feature at SU Only #287 - our fave holiday item! I knew right away I was going straight for the Sweet Little Stockings suite! I love it all so much! The cutest stamps, which of course have perfect dies, the gorgeous DSP, with cute critters AND fun patterns. There's even fun little Matte Dots in assorted colors and shades! I turned our sketch sideways and went to town! I hoped to also sneak in a Tailor Made tag, another fave of mine, but I ended up just being able to use the tab - but still good! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for these challenges - better get busy!

When I saw this lovely open space on our sketch, I knew right away I wanted to feature some pretty DSP, and I knew just what sheet, too, lol. I have been avoiding cutting my sheets of this stylized berry paper from Painted Christmas for a while now - not sure why it makes my heart so happy! All the happy circles? The fun berry-like shapes? The cheery red-painted colors? Who can say, but this was my chance, lol. I even got to play with shortening this fancy sentiment banner from the Seasonal Layers dies - worked like a charm! I can't wait to see YOUR takes on our sketch this week - meet you at the challenge!

I remembered right away that I wanted to try these two-step pinecone dies in the Christmas Pinecones die set - they go with the gorgeous images like the one I stamped on the envelope, but with super crisp details from the dies! I naturally brought in a sentiment from Christmas to Remember, which has a few extra dies that also coordinate. These super suites are so confusing! Anyway, I tried to keep it pretty clean, but couldn't resist a few red dots to finish things off - I love this calm card!

I decided to pare this one down A LOT - what a chance to show off some gorgeous and not-used-enough DSP! I'm taking about my Tidings of Christmas DSP, of course, and I just adore the color combos in here! I matched it up with some bold Cherry Cobbler today, as well as my fave sentiment from the companion stamp set, Tidings & Trimmings!
