![]() OK, the inspiration pic at this week's Merry Monday #265 is SO cute! Perfect for an "outdoor fun" theme! I think I'll add in these festive and playful colors from Global Design Project #113, too! So, I promise I DID look for a current set to play outside with, but in the end I wound up back at my beloved Mountain Adventure. I love creating snowscapes and mountain scenes with this one - it reminds me so much of fun winter holidays in Banff! Today I set off my sentiment with my Stitched Shapes framelits, and ran the square through twice to create a perfectly sized rectangle - works like a charm! I think I need to head north this year, lol...

![]() I'm excited about this week's Merry Monday #264 red and kraft (which we call Crumb Cake now, lol) challenge - love those together! Real Red and Crumb Cake make me think of warm sweaters, so I knew I wanted to use my Cable Knit DEF - and Smitten Mittens is just the set to go with THAT! I kept it fairly simple, but I love the expanded options we get from the matching framelits, so I added just a few tiny details! I'm so "smitten" with have right AND left hand framelits for this one! And hey, a little sparkle never hurt anybody either, lol, so let's have that, too! Cozy time!

Another Fab Friday #125! Love this sketch, and I'm excited to combine it with Paper Players #369's Holiday Pines challenge! So, this may have been an obvious choice, but really, I love our Christmas Pines set - you really can't make anything "bad" with it, lol. I had some fun calculating my white layer, and lining up my squares for stamping, but really, I pretty much went straight to my plan and made it happen! I did add some gold sequins to my original idea for a little sparkle - and the "Noel" is always a little bit bigger than I remember, but still - pine perfection! Merry Christmas! See you at the challenge!

I'm adding in TGIF #132's neutrals, too! I wasn't sure how closely I would follow this layout, but you know what? I ended up going All The Way with it, lol! The neutrals we a tough one, too, but then I thought of Night in Bethlehem, and figured I could do some shading with the wonderful city-scapes in that. It was fun getting all the pieces and layers cut, (yikes!), and then, to figure out the stitching? Thank goodness it just worked out when I gave up and went for it, lol...

So, OF COURSE I used Hug in a Mug - SO many ways to do up our cozy mugs there, and I didn't even use all the options I had, lol. I went with a color palette inspired by the Quilted Christmas DSP - so cheery! Looking at all these dancing mugs reminds me of the first fancy hot chocolate I ever had: I used to work at a mall when I was in high school, and one day a Gloria Jean Coffee Bean opened across the hall from us. I wasn't a coffee drinker yet, but the manager made me a hot chocolate when we went to visit their opening day, with the steamed milk on the espresso machine and everything, so dramatic, I had never seen that before. Then she PUT FRESH WHIPPED CREAM ON TOP! I was completely smitten, lol. They had different mugs they would let us use instead of disposable cups since we were right across the way. Good times! Alas, Orange Julius lost my business that year!

Only #186 has a fun challenge for us - TREATS! I'm adding in this round challenge from In{k}spire Me #323! So, I love making round easel cards - so fun! But, it's been a while, so I think I might have set my score line a little too low - this card is at ATTENTION, lol... Still, I love how it came out, and what better treat is there than baking for the big guy in red?? A quick square envelope with my envelope punch board in coordinating colors, and we are SET - yum!! In our house, Santa actually prefers Welsh Cakes - give them a try!

I'll be combining today with Merry Monday #262's gifts theme, too! I'm also adding in Stamp Ink Paper #122's washi challenge - I should use it more, lol. I decided to play with the little presents in Ready for Christmas (you know, the staircase one, lol) and then I realized that the perfect sentiment to go with it is in my beloved Oh, What Fun set - brilliant! Once I pieced and colored, I wanted to break up that white background a bit, and decided to pull out my old Pine Bough EF - gotta have a tree somewhere for these prezzies!

I think I'll combine with Paper Players #367's super cute sketch! A set I haven't used enough but that fits the bill perfectly is Hug in a Mug - yummy! I love that this set has all kinds of add-ins for your cocoa - the only thing missing is peppermint schnapps, lol. As usual, I found the time to fussy cut my little cups, and aqua-painted them so I could have multiple colors. At the last second, I totally had to emboss my card base with the Cable Knit EF - how not for a sweater weather theme??

I think these holiday colors from Global Design Project #109 will be perfect! When I think of a focal ornament, I can't help but go back to our gorgeous Embellished Ornaments set. For an update, I'll combine with my new fave, Christmas Pines - these two make perfect partners! I played a little with a sheet from Merry Little Christmas, added some pines branches, and heat-embossed a big fancy ornaments! There's definitely some sparkle there!

It's a natural fit with this week's SU! Only Challenge #185 for a holiday catty fave - perfect! As always with the Holiday Catty, it's really tough for me to choose just ONE fave - so today I'm featuring Smitten Mittens! One of the great features of this set is of course its accompanying framelit set, which actually features several "texture" pieces - so cool! Add some knit cable wherever you want! I treated on of my mittens with some ribbing around the cuff, then added some herringbone to the body. And I have a little hint: on the large cable, make sure the id# is facing UP, lol, or you'll etch it into your paper! You can always go back over it to fix it if you need to - ask me how I know, lol...
