VERY nice - Cardz 4 Guyz #262 has a "let it snow" challenge this week - fun! I couldn't help but turn to my Snowman Season set for this one - it does have just the right sentiment, after all! I tried to up the snow factor with some Gently Falling embossing in the background. to set off my little snow-guy having a bit if a time in his snowfall! A few enamel dots in Misty Moonlight bring all the blues together! Quick, fun AND snowy - what else is there??

Whew! I'm always so relieved to see my fave challenges start coming back from their winter breaks! Today I see that Fusion - Cocoa is back with another great combo for us! When I saw the cue card, I knew I had to pull out my Cup of Christmas bundle - such cute little mugs and dies! I combined my bright red mug with some pretty stripes of my fave DSP this year, Heartwarming Hugs - so glad to get a chance to use every last scrap, lol. This is a cup of cheer I could use every day, lol.

At first I was stumped - do I really have any silhouettes? Maybe the moose fill-in stamp? Then I remembered my Merriest Wishes tag set - it has a die for building a tiny little scene, in a tag form, that could totally be silhouetted! I set everything up over a tiny gorgeous background from my Feels Like Frost DSP, and the stuck to black and white for the rest. Uber-CAS for me today! I had to add a few rhinestones, just so folks would know it was really me, here, lol.

Oo, another new (to me) challenge today! Today I'm at Papercraft Challenges #65, with their snowflakes challenge! I couldn't resist finding a sheet of a beautiful snowy scene from my beloved Feels Like Frost DSP for this one, and this time I went all fancy with silver foil snowflakes but from our Christmas Layers Dies. I'm embarrassed that I haven't used the snowflakes ones yet, lol, but I'm on it now! I chose this simple sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas to go with, and stenciled a few tiny snowflakes for my envelope. So pretty! Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set; Feels Like Frost DSP; Whisper White, Pretty Peacock & Silver Foil CS; Pretty Peacock Ink; Christmas Layers & Rectangle Stitched Dies; Rhinestone Basic Jewel; #PapercraftChallenges65. I'm so super excited to be hosting our Sparkles Christmas Challenge #120 - our first challenge of the New Year! I'm all about the Christmas treats and goodies for this round - show me some yummies! I combined quite a diverse range of items to come up with today's card! First up, I knew I totally wanted to use this sentiment from Yummy Little Christmas - so perfect! Then I remembered this sweet little hungry doggie from 2019's Ready For Christmas - here's how to fast track to the naughty list, right? A little woodgrain DSP, a few Real Red embellies, and we're all set! We're in yummy town! I can't wait to see YOUR projects full of Christmas treats - see you at the challenge!

Time for another new-to-me challenge! This one is for Christmas Craft Creations "Winter Blues" theme - another good one! I couldn't resist doing a full-front cover for my card in this gorgeous sheet from Feels Like Frost DSP - I'm so sad because I figure it's SO unlikely this beauty will carry over again this year, sigh. I went through THREE packs of this stuff, lol, which has got to be some kind of record for me! I'll be down to hoarding soon, I guess, lol. Anyway, this blue frosty sheet has been one of my many faves, and I thought the beautiful woodcut look of our old Nature's Peace stamp would look lovely over it. I even heat-embossed in some of my hoarded Shimmer White EP - a subtle sparkly look!

Hm, looks like I JUST have room to try out a few new challenge blogs! Today I'm at ABC Christmas Challenge - Y & Z! What a great idea for Christmas themes! After a bit of thought, I went with "Y" - "your favorite things!" Much as I love the other letter, I just don't have many "sleeping" images for Christmas, sigh. But I do have MANY favorite things! Hot chocolate ranks right up this time of year - with all the trimmings! Candy canes, whipped cream, maybe a splash of Bailey's - you get the idea, lol. I also got to play with my fave DSP this year, Heartwarming Hugs, and use my fave Christmas color combo to boot. A true day of favorites, lol!

I'm super excited to be able to play at Paper Craft Crew #405/406 this week - it's even a double whammy of a sketch AND a theme! I'd be hard pressed to choose just one holiday set as my fave this year! The gnomes, the moose, the VW - too many to choose from! One I've had the most fun playing with, though, is our Peace & Joy set - LOVE the layered sentiments, and fun stems images to arrange around the words - SO cool, and so fun to do in all different color combos! Today I mixed it up with my beloved retired All Is Calm DSP - we don't have some of these colors any more, but Pretty Peacock did a pretty good sub for Lost Lagoon, sigh... What a fun project!

I still have time to squeeze in one more Christmas challenge for In{k}spire Me #438's bells and bows challenge! I'm starting to pull my Christmas DSP off my active shelves and get it ready for the DSP retirement box, and I came across this Wonder of the Season pack. Um, I don't think I ever even opened it, lol. {BLUSH!} That doesn't usually happen with my holiday toys, I swear! Anyway, one of the sheets had all these Christmas "ads," and wouldn't you know it, there's one that goes perfectly with our Cherish the Season bells! I decided to just feature this sweet ad for the card front, all the stamping is on the inside for this one, but how cute is this! (The back of this sheet features Christmas recipes - where have I BEEN?! Mrs. Claus's cheese fondue, coming right up!) Merry Christmas to all!

Such fun holiday inspiration at this week's Just Add Ink #536, and perfect timing for a an extra long challenge! I couldn't resist going snowman hunting for this one - check out this little gang from 2009's The More The Merrier! I love seeing them all standing around chatting, about snowman things - such a crowd! I kept the layout pretty simple, a nice stripey band down one side, and a fun Layered Circle for my stamping - quick AND fun!
