We have a very "cool" combo over at Fusion "Blue Gift" this week - a beautiful way to close out the year! I knew I wanted to try to incorporate both sides of the challenge, so I went for a sparkly blue-trimmed gift, with little Silver Glimmer pine sprigs. I think this year the Christmas Pines suite has been my go-to Christmas set! I just can't get over those thinlits in all colors, lol... It was also nice to add in a bit of the shimmer ribbon - my fave this in the ribbon department, too! Ahh, I feel all "fused" with Christmas spirit!

I'm so delighted to see this week's challenge from What Will You Stamp #146 - Christmas Quilt! I'm so sad this one is leaving us at the end of the holidays, sigh... I'll be squeezing in this fun color challenge from Merry Monday #269, too! So, I know MM said we only had to use THREE of their colors, but really, why not just use them all?? I decided to pair them up and attempt a patchwork quilt background - I don't think I did too badly, lol. It was definitely cool how they locked together! Lots of ink today, fastest quilt of my life, lol...

Well, either way, I'm totally tossing in this awesome color combo from Global Design Project #117 - everything is better with Lemon Lime Twist! Sooo, about that square card base, yeah, not so much today, lol. Truth is, I'm just too lazy to make my own envelopes most of the time, and I really need the SU! mother ship to bring me back a range of square sizes, lol. I used them all! Today is my homage to Smitten Mittens, though, another set that will be leaving us at the end of the Holiday Catty {SOB}... I honestly don't know what they have against the fiber arts this year, lol, but I think it's been a clean sweep, lol. So sad for us yarn hoarders...

I think these fun colors from Paper Players #374 will fit in nicely, too! Looking at the elements of the sketch, I wanted an alternative to the botanicals they suggested, and I landed on Star of Light. So many pretty shapes and dies for this one, and I just love that swirly background swoosh for SO many things! And yes, it's even cute in these startling colors - what a fun holiday combo!

So, the inspiration picture definitely sent me to my Christmas pines suite - LOVE that set! I love to play with our neutrals with it, and to make all different kinds of pine cones - there's a whole wardrobe of them, lol. I stuck with the Crumb Cake/Old Olive color scheme pretty closely as well, and came up with this pine cone extravaganza - yay!

Totally adding in my fave holiday colors for SU Only #189, too! I am ECSTATIC that my beloved Loads of Love (and all its toys) get to come out for some ink this season! I just can't seem to ever let this baby go, but as I've used it less often, whenever I do, the full truck complement has to come out, too, lol. Today we're taking a sparkly drive through the woods, with loads of presents to share, all in my fave Christmas colors: Real Red. Old Olive, Crumb Cake and Chocolate Chip. I love how well the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig works when you pull out your wood blocks! Ah, only two weeks left!

I think Freshly Made Sketch #316 gives me plenty of snow room, too! I FINALLY got a chance to use the winter-themed elements in Colorful Seasons today, lol - those snowflakes have been burning a hole in the Big Shot shelf, I swear! I liked the look of the Champagne Foil earlier this week, I decided to pull it out again, though this time over Dapper Denim. I think I'd have a hard time picking a favorite combo, here...

I think I'll use Try Stampin' on Tuesday #351's sketch to help me along! I'm adding in the festive colors from Color Throwdown # 472 for good measure, too! So that cute little Santa Hat inspiration pic got me to thinking about animals and hats, and I was reminded that I have carefully preserved my old Barnyard Babies stamp set. This little lamb (along with the piggy, but really they're ALL adorbs) is one of the main reasons I can't let this one get away yet. So even though it's a tiny one, this Santa Hat is for you - Fleece Navidad!

It's going to look winter-rich in these gorgeous colors from Sunday Stamps #167, too! Paper Craft Crew #271 will be the perfect layout for it, as well! So, I was saddened to read that the wonderful Christmas Quilt is set to retire at the end of this Holiday Catty {SOB}... What a bummer! I know I'll be hanging on to mine for quilts for all seasons, lol, but it always stresses me out a little when one of my faves has to move along, sigh.

I'm combining this one with the FUN challenge from Paper Players #373, too - Christmas Baking! I tried to resist, but I just couldn't help myself - I had to take a little trip to the past and pull in my retired Candy Cane Christmas suite, lol. The little cookie patterns are just too cute, and the yummy sentiments are just too perfect to go with them! Oh well, when it comes to Christmas baking, we all just have to take one for the elf team, lol.
