We're kicking off our new Christmas theme at this month's Sparkles Christmas Challenge #124 - use a tag ON your card! So what happens when I have new toys, is that can't stop playing with them, lol. This challenge was MADE for our demo pre-order, lol. I knew right away I wanted to use the Christmas sentiment in Inspired Thoughts - so sweet! And of course, our new Tailor Made Tags dies had to come in, too! I went looking through my paper stash for a sheet that showed "gifts," and came across this one in the Night Before Christmas stack - these two patterns are on the front and back of the same sheet - I love efficiency like that! I even found a little Cherry Cobbler twine to throw on there for my tag, I'm all matchy-matchy today! I can't wait to see YOUR projects over at the challenge - TAG, you're it! Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set; Night Before Christmas DSP (retired); Very Vanilla & Early Espresso CS; Early Espresso Ink; Tailor Made Tag Dies; Cherry Cobbler Linen Thread; Gold Glitter Enamel Dots;#SCC124.

Now this is a fun color scheme for Christmas! CAS Christmas wants to see a rainbow! This challenge gives me a chance to celebrate another departing set - and this one was a bit of a shock for me. Arrange A Wreath has proven to be SO versatile and fun, and I'm going to miss it. I even made an Easter wreath with it! The layering dies have been a joy to play with, along with all the fun wreath accessories, lol. I think this one will be staying on the retired shelves for the foreseeable future! Arrange A Wreath Stamp Set; Basic White CS; Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Wreath Builder Dies; Silver Pearls; #CASChristmasRainbow.

Happy April Fools, how about a Christmas card?? Lol, yes, it's time for our monthly challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge #123, and our theme this month is trees! Seems like a good time to bring out the lovely Winter Woods set, I was sad to see it on our retiring list - the dies are so amazing for this one! I couldn't resist bringing in a sentiment from another retiring set, Toile Christmas. Such a perfect Western Cardinal in this one! Anyway, I pulled out pretty much everything I own in Mossy Meadow, lol, so I threw on some red Wonderful Gems for a little color relief. Time to go forest bathing! I hope you can join us in the trees this month - I'll look for you and your projects over at the challenge! Winter Woods & Toile Christmas Stamp Sets; Mossy Meadow DSP; Basic White & Mossy Meadow CS; Mossy Meadow Ink; Woodland EF (retired); In The Woods & Christmas Cardinal Dies; Wonderful Gems; #SCC123. Oo, there's a GREAT color challenge at this week's CAS Christmas March 2021 - red, white and kraft (or Crumb Cake in SU! world, lol!) I thought about it for about 5 seconds, and went straight to my old White Christmas set from 2014 - still one of my all-time fave Christmas sets, and one from SU!'s early development of photopolymer - this was so exciting back then! Anyway, I knew these pretty trees would look lovely in White over my Crumb Cake, and I was right! I finished with a polar bear (because why not?) and two bright birds to add a touch more red - so happy with this little scene! White Christmas Stamp Set (retired 2014); Basic White, Crumb Cake & Real Red CS; Versamark & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Real Red Stamp-n-Write Marker; White EP; #CASChristmasMarch2021.

Time is surely flying, and it's time again for our monthly Sparkles Christmas Challenge #122 - make it CAS (clean and simple!) Looking over my Christmas sets, I don't think I've used the still-current Toile Christmas set much this year - the one with the cardinal in it? My actual favorite image in this set, though, is this gorgeous etched sprig - so fun to color, and so easy to cut out, since there's perfect dies to go with this set! I also love the little banner images in this one - so elegant - so I chose the simpler one to float over my little branch. Some quick touches of color with my blends, a few points of light with some rhinestones, and I am all set - and still CAS! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for this challenge - come be CAS with us! Toile Christmas Stamp Set; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler & Pool Party Blends Markers; Christmas Cardinal Dies; Rhinestone Basic Jewels; #SCC122. OK, super-cute theme for this month's February CAS Christmas - use dogs or cats! Time to go dig! I THOUGHT I was going to have to find an older stamp set that I could then stick a hat on or something, but then I remembered Yuletide Pasture - yes! This cute kitty in his scarf is all kinds of snuggly, and I wanted to show him off! I always get a little too excited for this CAS challenge, so I made an extra effort to pare things down - a simple pine sprig in the background, with just my cute kitty and a simple sentiment floating over it. And just a few snowflakes sprinkled in there - after all, he's dressed for it! So fun! Yuletide Pastures & Peaceful Wishes (retired 2006) Stamp Sets; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Pear Pizzazz & Cherry Cobbler Inks; Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Cherry Cobbler & Granny Apple Green Blends Markers; Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes; #CASChristmasCats.

It's time for a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge #121 - and we want to see your snowmen! I couldn't resist going back to my still-beloved Snow Buddies set from 2009 - these guys are so happy! I kept things fairly simple with a CAS white card front, and splashes of color on my little guy. I think this is the first time I've ever used the ice skates from this set - {GASP!} I added a swirly breeze and some pretty line-art snowflakes to go with, and then couldn't resist my snowflake sequins to finish - he's so cute! I can't wait to see YOUR snow-people this month - see you at the challenge! Snow Buddies (retired 2009) & Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Sets; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Granny Apple Green & Pool Party Blends Markers; Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes; #SCC121. Yay! It's all about celebrating winter at this week's Retro Rubber #150! So glad they're back from Christmas break! My favorite all-time winter scene maker is 2014's White Christmas - I love the pretty line art, and all the extra little details you can or incorporate into your little setting - so fun! I also still have 2016's Mountain Adventure, which has JUST the right sentiment, lol, so I ended up adding that, too. I built a simple snowy scene, with vary sparse color, and floated it all over a panel from my still-beloved Feels Like Frost DSP - just right for Winter! White Christmas (retired 2014); & Mountain Adventure (retired 2016) Stamp Sets; Feels Like Frost DSP; Whisper White & Smoky Slate CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Pool Party Inks; Real Red & Mango Melody Blends Markers; Rhinestone Basic Jewels; #RRCB150.

Lovely, Addicted to CAS #189 has another great code word for us this week - "snow!" Having just made it back from Maui in one piece, it's a little tough for me to switch gears back to the Winter themes still playing out on the blogs, lol. But I dug deep, and combined a few things for a simple snowy scene after my own heart! A little strip of my fave Trimming The Town DSP started me off, with a lovely foal diecut tree using the Pine Woods dies, and this warm sentiment from Merry Moose. I finished everything off with a little scatter of Adhesive Backed Snowflakes - I love the shimmer they add! I think I've put the island vibe behind me, sigh...

Hand Stamped Sentiments #355 is back, with a gorgeous inspiration board for us - so much to choose from! I knew right away I wanted focus on some icy snowy branches, and that gorgeous fox! I feel like I didn't use my Nature's Beauty set enough this year, and all those images go so perfectly with the lovely scenes in the Feels Like Frost DSP! I chose this rosy sheet to set off my cute little fox, and used this simple sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas - just right! I feel like I'm still cranking out Christmas cards pretty often here, lol, but I just can't help it!
