Check out our brilliant sketch at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #437! Classic! Now, we have an optional theme going, too, of "Winter Wonder" - and those two words send me running straight for my Feels Like Frost DSP. The scenery in these papers is just so stunning! It also makes perfect backdrops for our gorgeous Nature's Beauty stamp set, too - I think this is my fave combo this year, lol. I went with some Rococo Rose accents this round, and caught this bunny romping in the snow - shhh, don't startle him! So, I can't wait to see YOUR creations with our sketch - see you at the challenge!

The challenge team gods are smiling on me today as we marry these gorgeous festive colors from Sunday Stamps #219, and Sparkles Christmas Challenge's "winter wonderland" theme! Today I got to finally do something I've been longing to do, lol, and that's fussy cut some of the cutie-patootie snow-people from the Let It Snow DSP pack. These guys all have fun little outfits, and lots of sparkle to go with their big personalities! I actually did very little stamping for this one - I let the paper do the talking, and in the end went with a sentiment from a totally different set - Merry Moose had what I thought was most Winter Wonderland-y, lol. So, my fingers are a little tired from all the fussy cutting, but I love my little snow-people! What will YOU create for our challenges? I can't wait to see what you're up to, over at the blogs! Merry Moose Stamp Set; Let It Snow DSP; Whisper White & Real Red CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Snowflake Sequins; #SSC219; #SCCWinterWonderland. Ah ha! So excited that Case This Sketch #349 is a two-weeker - so I get to play! Fun times! Let's play with the penguins, OK? I love these guys, lol! I don't think I've featured this one before, he looks like he's ready for his hug, and all toasty-warm in his bright scarf! I picked some snowy papers for his background from the Let It Snow pack, and used up the last of my solid Red Baker's Twine to separate the designs. Simple and completely cute, I say - let's have a penguin parade! Playful Penguins Stamp Set; Let It Snow DSP; Whisper White & Real Red CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Coastal Cabana & Real Red Inks; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Real ed Baker's Twine; Silver Sequins; #CTS349. Wow, Hand Stamped Sentiments #328 has an awesome array of inspiration for us this week! Ho ho ho! I decided to go and quick and CAS route today - I really wanted to use this "comfort and joy" sentiment in Tidings All Around - I love that these sentiment fit INSIDE the stamped wreath, as much as I love the fancier diecut one we also get in these dies. I added lots of berries like the one in the inspiration pic, a simple bow, and a few bright sequins - fastest Christmas card in the West, lol! Tidings All Around Stamp Set; Whisper White & Old Olive CS; Old Olive & Real Red Inks; All Around Wreath Dies; 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon in Real Red; Real Red Sequins; #HSS328.

I was SHOCKED to realize that I don't think I've used the gorgeous Dashing Deer bundle at all this season - whoa! Out came my Detailed Deer dies right away, lol. I played with some of our Wrapped in Plaid DSP, and floated this pretty deer over everything - so handsome! So, what will YOU create for us this week?

So saying that, how about we make an actual landscape card?? Lol, easy to do with Snow Front to the rescue! For me, this set is actually more about self-editing as much as possible - I always seem to want to use every single stamp in this set! Anyway, wouldn't it be cool to have this view out your cabin window?? I can dream, right? I added a simple sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas (of course!) and felt done. So pretty! So, what will YOU create for our sketch? I can't wait to see your projects, over at the challenge!

I'm loving the look of As You See It #213's layered circles, and loving even more that they remind us we don't HAVE to do circles, lol. My kind of crowd! As it turns out, I think I WILL go with corcles today, though - I'm so contrary, lol! I decided to use this as an opportunity to show off some pretty Christmas DSP, and add a quick Itty Bitty sentiment. I did stitched everything, too, lol, LOVE my stitched dies! I kept it simple and quick, and finished with just a few sparkly rhinestones. Very Merry, indeed!

So, of course, I didn't do a "tag" per se, lol... I got to looking over my holiday shelf, and thinking about our bonus challenge of "non-traditional." I think funky colors is about as non-traditional as I can go today, at least without a cactus, lol. How about purple and yellow? And let's turn the background into a sentiment, too, and use the beautiful Merry Medley, which for some reason has not migrated to the retired shelves in my studio - don't know what happened there, lol. In keeping with the weird color idea, I also added a strand of Calypso Twine at the bottom - wacky-doo! So, what will YOU come up with?? I can't wait to see your creations over at the challenge! Merry Medley Stamp Set (retired); Purple Posy, Whisper White, Blackberry Bliss & Mango Melody CS; Blackberry Bliss & Purple Posy Inks; Seasonal Frames Dies; Calypso Coral Linen Thread (I think from a Paper Pumpkin kit?); Clear Epoxy Droplets; #TSOT435.

I decided to turn mine into ornaments - and stamping sets outside their color suites seems to be my especial jam this year, lol. Today's experiment matched up my Christmas Gleaming Ornaments with the Toile Tidings DSP - I'm all over the buffalo check sheet! I couldn't decide whether to do green-on-red or red-on-green, so I went ahead and did both, lol. Not sure which I like best! So, what will YOU create?

Lately I've been a little obsessed with pairing the gorgeous Nature's Beauty set with the stunning Feels Like Frost DSP - it's like a set a backgrounds made for all these sweet winter critters, lol. Today our shy doe came out for a quick pose against her snowy trees, gorgeous! I added a quick sentiment with Itty Bitty Christmas - I'm loving this set, too - there's something there for everyone, lol. Hm, I might need to take a ride up to the rim as soon as it snows up there - it DOES actually snow in some parts of Arizona, lol...
