![]() Oh wow - another fun book cover from this week's Library Challenge #20 - Bridget Jones Diary! My knowledge of this book, I'm embarrassed to say, is limited to the movies - something actually more on the rare side for me! I'm definitely a read-the-book-first-and-it's-always-better-anyway kind of gal, lol. I've watched and adored the first two, and I have the third one with the baby in it in my queue downstairs right now, lol. The first one is SUCH a fun Christmas movie, lol. I might need to do a marathon tonight and finally watch that last one, now that I think of it - kick off Christmas right! Anyway, I don't have a big wine glass, alas, so I did a big cup of coffee, in the same bright style as the cover - fun, fun, fun! Coffee Cafe & Merry Cafe (retired) Stamp Sets; Brights DSP in Melon Mambo & Daffodil Delight; Whisper White & Daffodil Delight CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Melon Mambo Inks; Iridescent Dots (I think leftover from the Donut Paper Pumpkin?); Coffee Cups Framelits; #TLC20. ![]() Pumpkin Club Dec 1!

![]() What a fun theme at this week's AAA #128 - "on the move!" I really wanted to do a Christmas card for this one, and I thought right away of Alpine Adventure - so many fun winter sports in this one! I finally settled on a sled, all loaded up with Christmas presents, and I did it in two colors, so I could piece together the wood grain for the platform - so easy with the Alpine Sports Thinlits! Some present and holly, a few sequins, and we are ready to go places in the name of Christmas! Jingling all the way, lol! Alpine Adventure Stamp Set; Festive Farmhouse DSP; Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Garden Green & Cherry Cobbler CS; Early Espresso, Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler & Pool Party Inks; Alpine Sports Thinlits; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Corner Rounder Punch; Cherry Pearls; Gold Sequins; #AAA128. ![]() Pumpkin Club Dec 1!

A Christmas set I haven't really used yet this year is the gorgeous Hearts Come Home set - such gorgeous silhouettes in this one, and normally I'm all about the amazing edgelits that go with it. Today I stuck to just the stamp set - I had so much structure already from our sketch! I thought these three little houses would be perfect along a sparkly banner - and Santa came out to help me along, too, lol. So, what have YOU come up with? I can't wait to see over at the challenge! Hearts Come Home & Alpine Adventure Stamp Sets; Whisper White, Pool Party, Soft Sea Foam & Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Pear Pizzazz, Smoky Slate & Pool Party Ink; Layering Squares Framelits; Banner Triple Punch; #TSOT385. ![]() Pumpkin Club Dec 1!

It's been far too long since I've been able to play at Paper Craft Crew #314 - super cute sketch this week - yay! It's hard fro me not to have Christmas on my mind all the time right now, so I knew I wanted to take a Christmas run at this sketch - what to fit in the little floating space? How about a candy cane?? Just right, I think! I added some stripes for the background that go just right with my theme, and a pretty green bow - I can see this beauty hanging on the tree now!

The best kind of challenge at Retro Rubber #99 this week - anything goes! What beauty can we pull from the vault today?? Well, I don't know about you, but I'm playing Christmas music pretty much all the time now in my studio, lol. So I went searching on the retired Christmas shelves, and came across my beloved Peaceful Wishes from 2006 - my first Christmas set! I love the simple branches and stems in this one, plus the realistic pine cone and gorgeous swooping font of the sentiment. I did a quick and clean version of my faves, and added some festive ribbon and sequins - yup, this set still has it!

My eye went straight to the bottom row this time - Stamping-Red-Plaid - hello, Buffalo Check! I love making my own custom plaids with this one - so easy to add a stripe or two of extra color for just the right color fit! This time, I did a nice bold red check, and added a simple single green stripe to the grid - the easiest Christmas plaid ever, lol. I decided I really wanted to add some green over that red, so a few Old Olive pine sprigs from the Pretty Pines Thinlits were totally in order. This card came together quickly and easily - win-win! I can't wait to see your tic-tac-takes over at the challenge!

Even with a moon, I decided to go for a Christmas card - I love snowy woodland scenes - they convey such a peaceful Christmas feel to me (maybe in contrast to the usual chaos around here for the holidays, lol.) I started by sponging in a simple moon in So Saffron and Basic Gray with a circle mask, and then stamped this lovely winter row of trees from Winter Woods. Dazzling Diamonds glitter added all the snow I wanted! I thought this sparkly sentiment from Christmas Pines was just right! A breath of fresh Winter air! Winter Woods & Christmas Pines Stamp Sets; Whisper White & Soft Sky (retired) CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, So Saffron & Basic Gray Inks; 1 1/2" Circle Punch (for mask); Stitched Shapes Framelits; Braided Linen Trim; Dazzling Diamonds Glitter; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; #AAA126. ![]() Pumpkin Club October 27!

I've had a new set giving me the hairy eyeball on my desk for a couple weeks now - the scrumptious Nothing Sweeter cookie set. This set is my substitute for ACTUAL sugar in my life right now - gotta get it somehow, lol! Anyway, it's bundled with the fascinating Sweetly Stitched framelits, that, in addition to cutting out our cookies, also have an addition framelit for adding three different stitched edges - super cool! I pulled out ALL the toys on this one, and, I think for the first time EVER (shhh!) actually squeezed in our bonus challenge to use die-cuts! Woo! So, what can YOU bake up for this one!

Oh, yeah! So, I think I have to take a stand for the super cute Making Christmas Bright - I know this is my first time using the set on the blog, but I could NOT wait to get my hands on this one, and play with that brilliant Christmas Bulb Builder punch! Even this simple card has some serious pop, lol. I also love that there's already a second set to go with the punch later in the catty - Making Every Day Bright. Go take a look at that cute little pine cone, or the penguin - adorbs! Well, off to put little light strings on EVERYTHING, lol...

Yeah! I had so much fun with that tie-dye card a couple weeks ago, I decided to get my Brusho Crystals out again - straight blue today, though. I also wanted to give it a go on regular card stock instead of watercolor paper - I like these results, too! I figured this gorgeous night sky was the perfect background for this beautiful leaping deer, in Silver, that's part of the lovely Dashing Deer suite. The dies in this collection are especially gorgeous, I have to say - lots of little detailing pieces, too!
